Abstract
Apparatus and methods for a reverse proxy server are provided. The reverse proxy server may provide compatibility and security for nodes on an IoT network. A reverse proxy server may normalize inter-node communications. A reverse proxy server may identify an IoT node and upon identification of the node, determine native communication protocol(s) specific to the node. The reverse proxy server may encapsulate data transmitted via the native communication protocol. The reverse proxy server may impose a principal-agent relationship. For example, the reverse proxy server may be a principal of one or more nodes (agents) on the IoT. The reverse proxy server may enforce security protocols on all agents. An agent (e.g., node) may be required to route all communications to other IoT devices through the principal (e.g., reverse proxy server). An IoT network may include more than one reverse proxy server. Each agent may have one or more principals.
