    Abstract: Presented herein are methodologies to on-board and monitor Internet of Things (IoT) devices on a network. The methodology includes receiving at a server, from a plurality of IoT devices communicating over a network, data representative of external environmental factors being experienced by individual ones of the plurality of IoT devices at a predetermined location; generating, using machine learning, an aggregated model of the external environmental factors at the predetermined location; receiving, at the server, a communication indicative that a new IoT device seeks to join the network at the predetermined location; receiving, from the new IoT device, data representative of external environmental factors being experienced by the new IoT device; determining whether there is a discrepancy between the external environmental factors of the new IoT device and the aggregated model; and when there is such a discrepancy, prohibiting the new IoT device from joining the network.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining performance characterization values from endpoints managed by a first fog node at a first hierarchical level in a hierarchy of fog nodes. The method includes changing a first operating characteristic of the wireless network based on the performance characterization values. The first operating characteristic affects the operation of one or more of the endpoints. The method includes transmitting a portion of the performance characterization values to a second fog node at a second hierarchical level in the hierarchy of fog nodes. The method includes changing a second operating characteristic of the wireless network based on an instruction from the second fog node. The second operating characteristic affects the operation of the first fog node and/or other fog nodes at the first hierarchical level. Changing one or more of the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic satisfies an operating threshold for the wireless network.

    Abstract: In one example embodiment, a proxy for a network obtains a traffic flow. The proxy determines whether a security policy in a whitelist for the traffic flow is active. If it is determined that the security policy for the traffic flow is active, the proxy selectively decrypts the traffic flow to produce one or more traffic flow attributes and, based on the one or more traffic flow attributes, determines whether the traffic flow is potentially malicious.
