TODAY’S PATENT – SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT

The invention pertains to Internet of Things (IoT) security and management, specifically to a system and method for establishing secure communication between IoT devices. Invented by David W. Kravitz and others, it was patented by the USPTO on July 25, 2017, bearing the serial number US9716595B1.

The system comprises a hardware processor and associated memory for each IoT device. The method includes issuing a first digital certificate to the second IoT device, inviting the second device to establish a communication line with the first IoT device, and receiving a digital token from the second IoT device. The second IoT device is authenticated using its unique identification and cryptographic key. The method then establishes a secure communication line between the first and second IoT devices by authenticating the line and issuing a second digital certificate. The system also prevents any third IoT device from communicating with the first or second IoT device without a secure communication line being established.

The present invention enhances IoT security and provides a reliable way for IoT devices to communicate with each other securely. The system and method can be applied to various IoT devices, making it a versatile solution for IoT security and management.
