    The Identity of Things (IDoT) involves assigning unique identifiers and metadata to connected devices and objects to enable effective communication over the Internet. Unique identifiers make things addressable on the IoT, while additional metadata defines an entity's identity and relationships. Considerations for IDoT include lifecycles, context-aware access management, and authentication methods suited for non-human entities on the IoT.
