Abstract

A core set of nodes of a graph representing a network of devices is identified, a node of the graph representing a device in the network of devices, an edge of the graph representing an ability to transmit data between two devices represented by corresponding nodes of the graph. A device represented by a node more than one hop from any node in the core set of nodes of the graph is removed from the network of devices, the removing resulting in a validated network of devices. Using a number of devices in the validated network of devices, a number of security keys in use in the validated network is validated. A device in the validated network is caused to perform a task.
