Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for authorizing publishing of a message and/or a subscription from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example system, a message broker receives a list of attributes from a claims provider. The message broker determines whether publishing of the message is authorized based at least on the list of attributes, and publishes the message if it is determined that the publishing is authorized. The message broker may also receive a subscription specifying a topic filter. The message broker determines whether the subscription is authorized for the IoT device based at least on the list of attributes, and transmits a subscription message to the IoT device if it is determined that the subscription is authorized.
