Using mobile devices as gateways for internet of things devices

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, from another device, an offer to receive data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device;
• send, to the other device and based on the offer, a device key;
• receive a first session ticket from the other device and based on the device key having been sent to the other device,
• the first session ticket having been generated by the other device;
• send, to the IoT device, the first session ticket;
• receive the data, from the IoT device, based on the IoT device having determined that the first session ticket matches a second session ticket,
• the IoT device having received the second session ticket,
• the second session ticket having been generated by the other device, and
• the data being received, from the IoT device, via a first communication interface;
• format the data for transmission via a second communication interface;
• and
• send, via the second communication interface, the data to a network device for transmission via a network.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a mobile device and from another device, a dispatch message to receive data from an Internet of Things (IoT) device;
• sending, by the mobile device, to the other device and based on the dispatch message, a device key;
• receiving, by the mobile device, from the other device and based on the device key, a session ticket,
• the session ticket having been generated by the other device;
• sending, by the mobile device, the session ticket to the IoT device;
• configuring, by the mobile device, the mobile device to receive the data from the IoT device;
• receiving, by the mobile device and after configuring the mobile device, the data from the IoT device based on the IoT device having determined that the session ticket is included in a set of session tickets,
• the set of session tickets having been provided by the other device, and
• the data having been received, from the IoT device, via a first communication interface;
• formatting the data for transmission via a second communication interface;
• and
• sending, via the second communication interface, the data to a network device.
