Abstract
System and method for establishing a secure communication between a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, includes issuing a first digital certificate to the second IoT device, inviting the second IoT device by the first IoT device to establish a communication line with the first IoT device by receiving a digital token from the second IoT device, authenticating the second IoT device using the unique identification and cryptographic key of the second IoT device; establishing a secure communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device by authenticating the established communication line and issuing a second digital certificate to the communication line between the first IoT device and the second IoT device; and preventing a third IoT device for which a secure communication line to the first or second IoT device has not been established from communicating with the first or second IoT device.
