Abstract
Presented herein are methodologies to on-board and monitor Internet of Things (IoT) devices on a network. The methodology includes receiving at a server, from a plurality of IoT devices communicating over a network, data representative of external environmental factors being experienced by individual ones of the plurality of IoT devices at a predetermined location; generating, using machine learning, an aggregated model of the external environmental factors at the predetermined location; receiving, at the server, a communication indicative that a new IoT device seeks to join the network at the predetermined location; receiving, from the new IoT device, data representative of external environmental factors being experienced by the new IoT device; determining whether there is a discrepancy between the external environmental factors of the new IoT device and the aggregated model; and when there is such a discrepancy, prohibiting the new IoT device from joining the network.
