How to best secure communications between IoT devices remains a challenging research area. However, the heterodox nature of individual IoT devices and its limited capabilities demand a more centralized, authority-derivative nature of SSL/TLS for the IoT ecosystem. While a number of experimental protocols have been proposed, many of these techniques are either derivative of SSL/TLS on some layer, or lack either enough ubiquity to be widely applied to a live ecosystem, or verifiable results. This paper proposes a distributed system for securing end-to-end cross-device communications; Access Control Trust A Distributed Cross-Communication scheme (ACT-DCC) using a localized web of self-determinate nodes in a network. As opposed to distributed systems, which typically rely on blockchain or centrally signed certificates, the proposed scheme instead operates on an iterative, decentralized method, which …
