Abstract

A device may receive software installation packages that include unique device identifiers and unique security mechanisms associated with corresponding IoT devices and include an address for the device, and may store the software installation packages in a data structure. The device may receive, based on the address for the device and from an IoT device, connection data identifying a request to connect to the device and identifying a device identifier and a security mechanism associated with the IoT device, and may utilize an MQTT protocol to authenticate the connection data based on the device identifier, the security mechanism, and the software installation packages stored in the data structure. The device may identify the IoT device as active when the connection data is authenticated, and may enable, when the connection data is authenticated, the IoT device to publish data to the device or to subscribe to data from the device.
