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.
