SECURE AND SCALABLE IOT DEVICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention discloses a Secure and Scalable IoT Device Management System designed to address the challenges of securely managing a large number of IoT devices across diverse environments. The system features a distributed server architecture that scales horizontally, enabling efficient handling of high device volumes. It incorporates secure device onboarding with public-private key authentication, encrypted communication protocols, real-time monitoring with anomaly detection, and a robust over-the-air (OTA) firmware update mechanism. Additionally, role-based access control (RBAC) ensures secure user management, while automated threat responses enhance the system's resilience against potential security breaches.
