Method and apparatus for secure access to a sensor or device network

Abstract

One embodiment of this invention describes a method and apparatus for the secure identification and validation of devices on a network using a low complexity method. In addition, any data transmitted between the devices to/from the network is secured by means of encryption techniques. The method as described herein is intended to protect and secure devices that might need to access a secured sensor or device type of network, for example an Internet of Things (IOT) network. However it could easily be adapted to other types of networks to provide comparable levels of security and protection. A further understanding of the nature and the advantages of particular embodiments disclosed herein may be realized by referencing the remaining portions of the specification and the attached drawings.
