Abstract
A method for filtering access of a connected object to a local area communication network, implemented by a routing device of the local area network. The method includes: detecting a connected object waiting for pairing within the local network; assigning a confidence score to the connected object, based on information relating to the connected object; notifying a trusted device of the local area network of the request to pair the connected object and of the assigned confidence score; and upon receipt of a pairing refusal from the trusted device, blocking an access of the connected object to the local area network.
Claims13
An access filtering method for filtering access of a connected object to a local area communication network, implemented by a routing device of said local area network, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting a connected object waiting for pairing within said local area network;
- assigning a confidence score to said connected object, based on information relating to said connected object;
- notifying at least one trusted device of said local network of the request to pair said connected object and of said assigned confidence score;
- and
- upon receipt of a pairing refusal from said at least one trusted device, blocking an access of said connected object to said local area network.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code instructions stored thereon for implementing an access filtering method for filtering access of a connected object to a local area communication network, when the instructions are executed by a processor of a routing device of said local area network, wherein the method comprises:
- detecting a connected object waiting for pairing within said local area network;
- assigning a confidence score to said connected object, based on information relating to said connected object;
- notifying at least one trusted device of said local network of the request to pair said connected object and of said assigned confidence score;
- and
- upon receipt of a pairing refusal from said at least one trusted device, blocking an access of said connected object to said local area network.
A routing device of a local area communication network, wherein the routing device comprises:
- a processor configured to:
- detect a connected object waiting for pairing within said local network;
- assign a confidence score to said connected object, based on information relating to said connected object;
- notify at least one trusted device of said local area network of the request to pair said connected object and of said assigned confidence score;
- and
- upon receipt of a pairing refusal from said at least one trusted device, block an access of said connected object to said local area network.
