A method and apparatus for determining one or more first devices that are Internet devices meeting all of the following conditions: residing at a given location; equipped with one or more ambience sensing capable sensors; and operation mode being such that their ambience sensing capable sensors should not cause transmission of data. One or more second devices are determined that are Internet devices at the given location and equipped with one or more elements capable of causing an ambient stimulation detectable by the sensors of one or more first devices. Data transmissions of the first devices are monitored. Issuing of the ambient stimulation is caused by a subset of the one or more second devices. It is determined whether the issuing of the ambient stimulation caused a significant change in the monitored data transmissions of the first devices.

Facilitate configuration of authentication information for a service provided over IP network when there is no shared authentication information between IoT device and service provider device for a service used by IoT device, an intermediary device capable of authenticating legitimate access mediates between devices. An example: a cipher key CK stored in intermediary device and IoT device, as a result of SIM authentication of the SIM of the IoT device, is used as master key for services used by IoT device. By generating unique application key for a service used by IoT device on the intermediary device and IoT device on the basis of master key, and sending it to service provider apparatus from intermediary device by secure connection, common keys are set as authentication information to IoT device and service provider apparatus. A SIM authentication process for generating cipher key can suppress SQN attack based on a bad request.

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to an installable mutable intelligent security package (“IMISP”) and security system in Internet of Things (“IoT”) networks. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an IoT device can receive an IMISP. The IMISP can scan a plurality of memory locations of the memory for an IMISP operating system process. In response to finding the IMISP operating system process in a memory location of the plurality of memory locations, the IMISP and the IMISP operating system process can conduct a mutual authentication process. In response to a successful result of the mutual authentication process, the IMISP can self-install in the memory location. The IMISP can then scan the memory of the IoT device for an anomaly. In response to finding the anomaly, the IMISP can generate report that includes information associated with the anomaly.
