Imagine this: An electric and autonomous Uber pulls up at a charging station on the side of the road. To receive the charge, the car is required to communicate and pay the station, while the station needs to trust that indeed it will be paid before it starts charging. The two machines need to communicate and transact with each other. In this not-so-distant future, how will authentication, authorization and trust between internet connected machines be established? One could think of a machine having a credit history and a trust score of some sort, based on past performance, that is auto-communicated between these IoT machines — determining authorization or denial.
