SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill defines and documents a complete security and authentication system to prevent unauthorized access by implementing device pairing, token-based authentication, access control, audit logging, and threat defenses, enabling secure operation of gateways and plugins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Device Pairing & Authentication: Securely pair devices using public keys, pairing codes, challenge signatures, and issue time-limited tokens.
  • Access Control & Policies: Enforce DM-level policies, channel permissions, and plugin-specific authorization rules.
  • Security Auditing & Threat Protection: Record security events, audit permission changes, detect anomalous behavior, and mitigate DDoS, replay, and MITM attacks.
  • Use Case: Secure an IoT gateway so only paired and authorized devices can access sensitive channels while producing auditable logs for compliance.

Quick Start

Initiate a secure pairing for deviceId DEVICE_ID using its publicKey and optional pairingCode to obtain a time-limited token and verify access rights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement secure device pairing and authentication for an IoT gateway?

Device pairing uses public keys and challenge signatures to verify identity before issuing time-limited tokens. This prevents unauthorized devices from onboarding to your IoT gateway or distributed services.

What is the best way to enforce access control and channel authorization for distributed services?

Access control is enforced by applying configurable DM-level policies, channel permissions, and plugin-specific authorization rules to manage runtime access decisions across distributed services.

How do I add audit logging and threat protection to a plugin architecture?

Audit logging and threat protection are added by recording security events, auditing permission changes, and detecting anomalous behavior to actively mitigate DDoS, replay, and MITM attacks.

Can I use token management and signature verification for runtime access decisions in IoT?

Yes, token management and signature verification handle runtime access decisions by issuing and validating time-limited tokens against configurable policies to authorize device channels and plugin actions.

Does this security system support rate limiting and replay attack defenses for device onboarding?

Yes, rate limiting and replay attack defenses are supported during device onboarding to prevent DDoS and replay threats, ensuring secure and throttled access to the gateway.
