Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided herein is a method for registering an IoT device with a DNS registry. The method can include obtaining, at a DNS server, an identifier, IP address, and a public key of an asymmetric key pair associated with the IoT device from a network gateway device that is in communication with the IoT device, wherein the asymmetric key pair is provisioned onto the IoT device and an associated private key stored within a memory of the IoT device at a time that IoT device is manufactured or during a predetermined time window after manufacturing; creating at least one DNS record for the IoT device; assigning a domain name associated with the internet protocol (“IP”) address to the IoT device; storing the identifier, IP address, the domain name, and the public key in the at least one DNS record; and providing confirmation of the registration to the IoT device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for registering an internet of things (“IoT”) device with a domain name system (“DNS”) registry, the method comprising: obtaining, at a DNS server, an identifier, IP address, and a public key of an asymmetric key pair associated with the IoT device from a network gateway device that is in communication with the IoT device, wherein the asymmetric key pair is provisioned onto the IoT device and an associated private key stored within a memory of the IoT device at a time that IoT device is manufactured or during a predetermined time window after manufacturing; creating at least one DNS record for the IoT device; assigning a domain name associated with the internet protocol (“IP”) address to the IoT device; storing the identifier, IP address, the domain name, and the public key in the at least one DNS record; and providing confirmation of the registration to the IoT device. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one DNS record is a TLSA record. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier, IP address, and the public key is obtained at a cloud-based DNS-registration interface associated with the DNS server. 4. A device for registering an internet of things (“IoT”) device with a domain name system (“DNS”) registry, the device comprising: a memory containing instructions; and at least one processor, operably connected to the memory, the executes the instructions to perform operations comprising: obtaining, at a DNS server, an identifier, IP address, and a public key of an asymmetric key pair associated with the IoT device from a network gateway device that is in communication with the IoT device, wherein the asymmetric key pair is provisioned onto the IoT device and an associated private key stored within a memory of the IoT device at a time that IoT device is manufactured or during a predetermined time window after manufacturing; creating at least one DNS record for the IoT device; assigning a domain name associated with the internet protocol (“IP”) address to the IoT device; storing the identifier, IP address, the domain name, and the public key in the at least one DNS record; and providing confirmation of the registration to the IoT device. 5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one DNS record is a TLSA record. 6. The device of claim 4 , wherein the identifier, IP address, and the public key is obtained at a cloud-based DNS-registration interface associated with the DNS server.
