Claims:WE CLAIM
1. A method of establishing a secure access connection with electronic devices, the method comprising:
receiving, by a connection manager of a host device, a request for establishing the secure access connection, from an electronic device, via an access point associated with the electronic device;
dynamically determining, by the connection manager, at least a local reputation score associated the access point, based on at least a plurality of parameters and pre-defined weights assigned to each of the plurality of parameters; and
establishing, by the connection manager, the secure access connection between the host device and the electronic device, via the access point, based on a comparison of an updated global reputation score with a pre-defined threshold, wherein the global reputation score is updated based on the dynamically determined local reputation score.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request for establishing the secure access connection is obtained based on a scanning of a vicinity of the host device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the local reputation score is determined based on at least a pre-defined time interval or a change in the plurality of parameters.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a unique identifier corresponding to the access point.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising storing the determined local reputation score in a local database corresponding to the generated unique identifier.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising retrieving a global reputation score associated with the access point, from a global database, for establishing the secure access connection.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the global reputation score corresponds to a weighted analysis of at least a user defined reputation score and previously determined local reputation scores.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the weighted analysis is based on user configurable weights.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of parameters comprises at least one of: a data transfer speed associated with the access point, a delay in data transfer associated with the access point, a jitter associated with the access point, an uptime of the access point, an availability status of the access point for communication, a number of network nodes connected to the access point, and encryption modes used for communication via the access point.

10. A system for establishing a secure access connection with electronic devices, the system comprising:

a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores the processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
receive a request for establishing the secure access connection, from an electronic device, via an access point associated with the electronic device;
dynamically determine at least a local reputation score associated the access point, based on at least a plurality of parameters and pre-defined weights assigned to each of the plurality of parameters; and
establish the secure access connection between the host device and the electronic device, via the access point, based on a comparison of an updated global reputation score with a pre-defined threshold, wherein the global reputation score is updated based on the dynamically determined local reputation score.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is configured to receive the request for establishing the secure access connection based on a scanning of a vicinity of the host device.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is configured to determine the local reputation score based on at least a pre-defined time interval or a change in the plurality of parameters.

13. The system of claim 10, the processor is further configured to generate a unique identifier corresponding to the access point.

14. The system of claim 13, the processor is further configured to store the determined local reputation score in a local database corresponding to the generated unique identifier.

15. The system of claim 10, the processor is further configured to retrieve a global reputation score associated with the access point, from a global database, for establishing the secure access connection.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the global reputation score corresponds to a weighted analysis of at least a user defined reputation score and previously determined local reputation scores.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the weighted analysis is based on user configurable weights.

18. The system of claim 10, wherein the connection between host device and the electronic device is established, via an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway.
