Abstract
In the sharing of data between connected devices over a network, a network device broadcasts an availability of a set of data collected by a data producing device coupled to the network. The network device receives a request to access the set of data from a data consuming device coupled to the network, and a cognitive computing module of the network device determines a set of terms between the data producing and the data consuming devices for access to the set of data. In response, the network device obtains the set of data and a first key from the data producing device. Upon receiving a second key from the data consuming device, the network device determines that the second key is associated with the first key. In response, the network device provides access to the set of data to the data consuming device according to the set of terms.
