Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to securely audit communications. An example apparatus includes a participant list generator to, responsive to a command to provision a secured group of devices in a network to prevent malicious activity, generate a participant device list including one or more endpoint devices and a control plane server; a privilege controller to, based on a policy indicated in the command, set read and write privileges for the one or more endpoint devices and the control plane server; a command controller to, based on the command, determine whether to generate a shared communication key using a shared system key; and a communication processor to encrypt communications between the one or more endpoint devices and the control plane server using the shared communication key.
