Abstract
Various systems and methods of establishing and utilizing device management (DM) services in Internet of Things (IoT) networks and similar distributed network architectures, are described herein. In an example, a Cloud-To-OCF Device mediator service may be established from OCF services definition; this mediator service may be used to establish connectivity between a cloud-capable device and a cloud-based service. Further systems and methods to provide a proxy access service (PAS) hosted on a cloud service provider, that enable a PAS to coordinate and preserve device-to-device interactions from end-to-end, are also disclosed.
Claims24
A system for networked device management, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory, including instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a request to onboard a client device onto a security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the client device to a defined security level;
- receiving a request to register a remote service with the security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the remote service to the defined security level;
- transmitting communication information to the client device and the remote service to establish communications at the defined security level in the security-restricted domain;
- and
- processing a delegation to implement a mediator service within the security-restricted domain, wherein the delegation to implement the mediator service is received from an onboarding service, wherein the onboarding service operates within a trusted domain, wherein the client device switches to operate in the trusted domain after completion of a communication with a second client device in the security-restricted domain and after onboarding of the client device to the security-restricted domain.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a request to onboard a client device onto a security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the client device to a defined security level;
- receiving a request to register a remote service with the security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the remote service to the defined security level;
- transmitting communication information to the client device and the remote service to cause communications at the defined security level in the security-restricted domain;
- and
- processing a delegation to implement an intermediate service within the security-restricted domain, the delegation to implement the intermediate service received from an onboarding service, wherein the onboarding service operates within a trusted domain, wherein the client device is configured to switch to operate in a trusted domain after completion of a communication with a second client device in the security-restricted domain, and after onboarding of the client device to the security-restricted domain.
A method for networked device management, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to onboard a client device onto a security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the client device to a defined security level;
- receiving a request to register a cloud service with the security-restricted domain, wherein the security-restricted domain restricts communication operations of the cloud service to the defined security level;
- transmitting communication information to the client device and the cloud service to enable communications at the defined security level in the security-restricted domain;
- and
- processing a delegation to implement a mediator service within the security-restricted domain, the delegation to implement the mediator service received from an onboarding service, wherein the onboarding service operates within a trusted domain, wherein the client device switches to operate in the trusted domain after completion of a communication with a second client device in the security-restricted domain, and in response to onboarding of the client device to the security-restricted domain.
