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. The identity-based communications layer is situated between a network layer and an application layer and transmits a message between two devices identified by a global address. The global address specifies a protocol, a network, and an address meaningful for the combination of the protocol and the network.
