    Abstract: In one embodiment, a domain controller includes a quarantine logic to quarantine unknown devices from unrestricted network access. The quarantine logic comprises a first quarantine point at a first layer of a multi-layer communication model. The domain controller also includes: a first logic to communicate with a domain name system (DNS) service to self-allocate and register a domain name with the DNS service, the domain name associated with a domain to be managed by the domain controller; a second logic to manage a group of devices of the domain; and a third logic to receive a provisioning request for a first device via an access point that comprises a second quarantine point at a second layer of the multi-level communication model. The second layer is a lower layer than the first layer, and the second quarantine point is more restrictive than the first. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques for implementing public key infrastructure using blockchains are described. An apparatus may receive, from a introducee principal, a proof-of-work. The apparatus may combine the proof-of-work with an identifier of the introducee principal. The apparatus may generate an introduction of the introducee principal. The introduction may include signing, using an asymmetric private key assigned to the apparatus, the combination of the proof-of-work and the identifier of the introducee principal. The apparatus may publish the introduction of the introducee principal to a blockchain.
