According to the present IoT landscape the Users of the data can either use the following interfaces to access IoT information:

  • Web Apps

  • Smart Phone Apps

However with the user of new technologies as interfaces like :

  • AR/ VR

  • Digital Voice Assistants

the data can be obtained from the respective devices and then utilized by the User.

The question is:

How does one register these AR/VR and Digital Voice Assistants since they themselves do not have e-mail addresses and passwords that can be used to generate Access Tokens to query different APIs in the cloud infrastructure?

What are some security token generation tools for these devices and what is the token generation based on? Is the token completely random or is it based on some information like hardware IDs of such devices?

What you are looking for is called oAuth.

It's a standard for issuing authentication tokens authorising services to act on behalf of users in a controlled way.
