Abstract

This invention relates to a method for managing the status of a connected device by publishing assertions in an immutable distributed database composed of a plurality of compute nodes, a pair of keys comprising a public key and a private key being associated with the connected device. The method comprises the steps of: receiving from a first terminal associated to a first user an instruction message; verifying that the first user is allowed to modify the status of the connected device; sending an assertion request to the immutable distributed database for publishing an assertion comprising the status information.
