Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprises accessing, by a networking hardware device, identity awareness data for a plurality of client computing devices and device security policies of a plurality of IoT computing devices from at least one distributed data repository; authenticating, by the networking hardware device, a client computing device requesting access to at least one Internet of Things (IoT) computing device, based on the accessed identity awareness data; establishing, at the networking hardware device, firewall rules based on the accessed device security policies; creating, by the networking hardware device, a session for the authenticated client computing device to communicate with the at least one IoT computing device, wherein creating a session comprises posting information relating to the session as authentication session information to the at least one distributed data repository.
