We discuss the theoretical model underlying a real-time, truly decentralized post-quantum secure network communications protocol, namely decentralized Open IoT Security Protocol (dOISP)™, a practical and newly available alternative to conventional authentication, authorization, encryption, and interoperable data transmission, offering a secure method to transfer data between entities in the network regardless of operating system or communication layer protocols. Using known cryptographic standards, it is possible render the network itself as the central point of trust, in order to create an intelligent network that evolves in real-time, thus creating an ever-changing set of shared secrets in the network. This involves assembling a virtual map of assets in the network based on real physical properties, typically leading to many paths of confirmation between any pair of entities. This map is continuously updated, confirmed and evaluated autonomously in real-time.
