  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17828713 Titled 'EFFICIENT ATTRIBUTE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL AUTHORIZATION FOR A MESSAGE BROKER'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a system that allows for the authorization of publishing messages and subscriptions from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The system includes a message broker that receives a list of attributes from a claims provider. The message broker then determines whether the message can be published based on these attributes and publishes it if authorized. Similarly, the message broker can also receive a subscription request with a topic filter and determine if the subscription is authorized for the IoT device based on the attributes. If authorized, the message broker sends a subscription message to the IoT device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for authorizing publishing of a message and/or a subscription from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example system, a message broker receives a list of attributes from a claims provider. The message broker determines whether publishing of the message is authorized based at least on the list of attributes, and publishes the message if it is determined that the publishing is authorized. The message broker may also receive a subscription specifying a topic filter. The message broker determines whether the subscription is authorized for the IoT device based at least on the list of attributes, and transmits a subscription message to the IoT device if it is determined that the subscription is authorized.
