Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a communication portal to establish and/or maintain secure communication, comprising:
determining a plurality of characteristics for a first device of a first device type;
analyzing the plurality of characteristics against a set of expected characteristics of the first device type, comprising:
generating an occurrence of a stimulus event for the first device; and
monitoring behavior of the first device responsive to the stimulus event and timing of the behavior,

monitoring runtime behavior of the first device over a window of time to collect runtime behavior data;
analyzing the runtime behavior data for the first device to determine whether the first device is operating in a manner consistent with the first device type, comprising determining whether the behavior and the timing of the behavior of the first device are consistent with the first device type; and
upon determining that the analyzed plurality of characteristics is consistent with the set of expected characteristics and that the first device is operating in a manner consistent with the first device type, generating a security profile for the first device designating the first device as a trusted device.
