System and Method for Secure Machine-To-Machine Communications

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include a method for providing a secure domain name system (DNS) for machine to machine communications. In one embodiment, the method includes storing policy information for machine to machine communications in a global DNS registry database server. The method further includes communicating the policy information for machine to machine communications from the global DNS registry database server to a machine DNS registry server located in an Internet service provider (ISP) network, wherein a control signaling gateway located in the ISP network is configured to utilize the policy information for machine to machine communications to allow only registered controllers associated with a machine to communicate with the machine.

主权项

1. A machine to machine (M2M) secure domain name system (DNS) comprising:
a machine DNS registry server located in an Internet service provider (ISP) network, wherein the machine DNS registry server receives a plurality of policies for M2M communications from a global DNS registry database server over a secure connection between the global DNS registry database server and the machine DNS registry server located in the ISP network, wherein the plurality of policies comprises a first policy, the first policy comprising a machine domain and a list of machines associated with the machine domain; a control signaling gateway located in the ISP network and in communication with the machine DNS registry server located in the ISP network, the control signaling gateway configured to utilize the policies for M2M communications to allow only registered controllers associated with a machine to communicate with the machine.
