The IoT future that we envision is one in which many "things" need to communicate with a lot of other "things" in realtime.
Many parties own and operate these "things" each with various operating systems, communication protocols and systems architectures.
Realtime communication is authentication, authorisation, data-encryption without the need to rely on the traditional centralised model of computing.
In the third decade of the 21st century this usually means some sort of cloud communication and management which is wholly insufficient for realtime secure communication between disparate assets.
Point-to-point or edge computing, in the case of large scale IoT, is the new normal.
Large scale, disparate, IoT systems require a new model of cryptography, communication and encryption that can handle complexity in realtime.
The disruption of the client-sever model of computing in order to build living, evolving, self-aware systems that are specific to a range of conditions is required in the new era of IoT.

Nearly all verticals have invested tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions in various infrastructure and operational projects. To replace the majority of assets within existing systems in order to move from the old SCADA way of life to a modern intelligent IoT one, is largely infeasible. As systems need updating and budget allows, all systems should be fitted with TCP/IP capable assets where relevant. However, what if it were possible to bring in most, if not all, existing infrastructure to into the era of modern IoT communications?
Assets within systems need to be able to communicate. There as a plethora of users, suppliers, manufacturers, OEMs, wireless and wired protocols, systems architectures, and operating systems. Currently, getting secure communication and functionality cross group is one of the biggest problems with large scale IoT today. Until now, interoperability has been one of the biggest challenges of moving the modern vision of IoT forward.
The need to secure the edges of large scale complex IoT systems has been obvious for years now. Because the edge of most systems rely on sensors and microcontrollers, most, if not all, are relatively "dumb" and cannot process complex calculations required for traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication. Authentication is the foundation of any cryptosystem, and without it, most systems can be easily hacked.
