In various m- en bodiments, a gateway or computing device might provide connectivity between or amongst two or more Internet of Things (\"IoT\") \" 1-1 capable devices, by establishing an IoT protocol-based, autonomous machine-to-machine communication channel amongst the two ---- or more IoT capable devices. For sensitive and/or private communications, the gateway or computing device might establish a secure I r ----- off-the-record (\"OTR\") communication session within the IoT protocol-based, autonomous machine-to-machine channel, thereby 1-1 C providing encrypted machine-to-machine communications amongst the two or more IoT capable devices, without any content of N communications that are exchanged amongst the IoT capable devices over the secure OTR communication session being recorded or 0 logged. In some cases, the secure OTR communication session utilizes cryptographic protocols including, without limitation, one or ,..1: more of AES symmetric-key algorithm, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, SHA-1 hash function, forward secrecy, deniable authentica- tion, malleable encryption, and/or the like.
