Abstract
Techniques allow owners of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to provide specific access to data from their IoT devices to requesters of data. A request for data from an IoT device is received from a requester, and the request is provided to the owner of the IoT device. An indication of acceptance by the owner is provided for the request. A public key of a public/private key pair associated with the accepted requester is received. A plurality of datapoints from the IoT device is also received. At least one datapoint of the plurality of datapoints is encrypted with the public key of the requester. The encrypted at least one datapoint is then sent to the requester, where the requester can decrypt the encrypted at least one datapoint using the private key of the public/private key pair.
