Fecha de publicación: 14/05/2021 Fuente: Wipo "IOT" The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for managing an IoT device, and a server and a storage medium thereof, and belongs to the field of the IoT technology. The method includes: receiving a join request sent by an IoT device, wherein the join request includes a device public key of the IoT device and a device level of the IoT device; determining a standard device public key of the IoT device according to the device level of the IoT device; detecting whether the device public key of the IoT device carried in the join request is the same as the standard device public key of the IoT device; if the device public key of the IoT device carried in the join request is the same as the standard device public key of the IoT device, acknowledging that the IoT device is valid, and controlling the IoT device to join the IoT platform. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the validity of the IoT device is first authenticated before the IoT device joins the IoT platform, and the device private key corresponding to the IoT device is not revealed during validity authentication, thereby improving the security for the IoT device and the IoT platform.
