Abstract
In an approach, a processor receives, at an edge node, a message from an IoT device associated with the edge node, the message being embedded with at least one non-fungible token (NFT) and each of the at least one NFT representing a corresponding authorization associated with the IoT device. A processor retrieves, at the edge node, the at least one NFT from the received message. A processor validates, at the edge node, the received message based on the retrieved at least one NFT. A processor, responsive to validating the received message, forwards, by the edge node, the received message to a center node associated with the edge node.
