In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: detect deployment context information for an edge gateway, wherein the deployment context information identifies a deployment environment of the edge gateway based on information from one or more sensors; transmit, via a communications network, the deployment context information for the edge gateway to a gateway management node; receive, via the communications network, a gateway configuration for the edge gateway from the gateway management node; and configure the edge gateway based on the gateway configuration.

Intelligent gateway configuration for internet-of-things networks

A node that couples to the Internet establishes a secure connection with another node that couples to the Internet. The secure connection to be established via an IPsec security association. The node registers with an authority that couples to the Internet and provides public key infrastructure (PKI) services. Registration is to include obtaining both a private and a public and key. The PKI services to include providing the private key to only the registered node and providing the public key to another registered node that requests PKI services from the authority. The node requests the PKI services from the authority based on a change in a point of attachment for the node to the Internet. The node then authenticates the other node via the PKI services and exchanges a secret key with the other node based on the authentication of the other node. The node is to implement an encryption scheme that uses the exchanged secret key for symmetric encryption of data exchanged between the node and the other node. The symmetric encryption is to maintain a secure connection between the nodes.
