Abstract
A trust manager receives client account information from a client, determines whether the client account information is valid, and determines whether the client is authorized to access one or more embedded devices that are in electronic communication with a security broker. The trust manager also receives security broker account information from the security broker, determines whether the security broker account information is valid, and determines whether the security broker is authorized to provide access to the embedded device(s). If the client account information from the client is valid and the client is authorized to access the embedded device(s), and if the security broker account information from the security broker is valid and the security broker is authorized to provide access to the embedded device(s), the trust manager establishes a secure trusted connection between the client and the security broker.
