APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING SECURE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS IN AN INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first local wireless communication module to establish local wireless communication channels with a second local wireless communication module;
a data structure managed by the first local wireless communication module, the data structure comprising a set of characteristics, each characteristic identified with an characteristic ID and having a value buffer associated therewith containing data associated with the characteristic;
the first wireless communication module to form a first network socket using the data structure by defining a first characteristic for receiving data packets transmitted by the second local wireless communication module and a second characteristic for transmitting outgoing data packets to the second local wireless communication modules;
wherein the incoming data packets are to be temporarily buffered in a first value buffer associated with the first characteristic and wherein the outgoing packets are to be temporarily buffered in a second value buffer associated with the second characteristic.

Abstract
An apparatus and method are described for secure wireless communication. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a first local wireless communication module to establish local wireless communication channels with a second local wireless communication module; a data structure managed by the first local wireless communication module, the data structure comprising a set of characteristics, each characteristic identified with an characteristic ID and having a value buffer associated therewith containing data associated with the characteristic; the first wireless communication module to form a first network socket using the data structure by defining a first characteristic for receiving data packets transmitted by the second local wireless communication module and a second characteristic for transmitting outgoing data packets to the second local wireless communication modules; wherein the incoming data packets are to be temporarily buffered in a first value buffer associated with the first characteristic and wherein the outgoing packets are to be temporarily buffered in a second value buffer associated with the second characteristic.
