Abstract
IoT frameworks require flexible and scalable communication and security schemes that can be deployed on devices of low computational capabilities and memory (e.g., resource-constrained devices). A system is provided including a mesh network of resource-constrained devices creating a self-organizing and collaborative communication topology between the devices, and an attribute-based encryption security scheme integrated with the mesh network that enables the resource-constrained devices to communicate securely in unsecured channels by defining an access policy that can only be satisfied by the authorized resource-constrained devices. In order to integrate the attribute-based encryption scheme with the mesh network of resource-constrained devices, a serializer and deserializer are provided that prepare all communications to go through the attribute-based encryption scheme by converting all data and metadata into a suitable format for transmission over the network.
