Abstract
Techniques allow owners of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to provide specific access to data from their IoT devices to requesters of data. A request for data from one or more IoT devices is received from one or more requesters, and the request is provided to the owner of the one or more IoT devices. An indication of acceptance by the owner is provided for at least one of the requests from the requesters. A public key of a public/private key pair associated with each of the accepted requester(s) is received. A plurality of datapoints from the one or more IoT devices is also received. For each of the selected requester(s), at least one datapoint of the plurality of datapoints is encrypted with the public key of the requester. The encrypted at least one datapoint is then sent to the requester, where the requester can decrypt the encrypted at least one datapoint using the private key of the public/private key pair.
