Abstract
A computer architecture for enterprise device applications provides a real-time, bi-directional communication layer for device communication. An identity-based communications layer provides for secure, end-to-end telemetry and control communications by enabling mutual authentication and encryption between the devices and the enterprise. A unique identity is assigned to each device, user and application to provide security services. A communications session is established between two devices using an authentication service that authenticates the device that is initiating the establishment of the communications session with another device. After authenticating the initiating device, the authentication service provides to the initiating device the network address of the other device and an authentication credential for use in the communications session between the initiating device and the other device.
