Context-Aware Continuous Authentication and Dynamic Device Pairing for Enterprise IoT

Enterprise IoT is an advanced extension of Internet of Things (IoT) that enables intelligent enterprise systems. It focuses on connecting the enterprise assets and their devices with backend application services and front-end user interactions. While it is more complicated and more impactful than smart home, it faces several challenges such as a large number of IoT devices deployed at various locations and also multiple users to be granted with different permissions. To solve these challenges, we propose a multi-domain enterprise IoT system in consideration of both user movement and IoT device relocation. We propose a context-aware continuous authentication method to authenticate mobile users to the IoT domains based on the context inferred from various sensors on the smartphones and in the IoT domains. We also propose a dynamic device pairing method to support the mobility of users and IoT devices based on data (e.g., contexts, access history, etc.) sharing among the IoT domain, the enterprise server, and the mobile users.
