A lightweight authentication and secure data access between fog and IoT user

Abstract

The advent of the internet of things (IoT) links millions of computers and sensors to each other, generating a massive volume of data, but due to latency, bandwidth and storage issues some computational paradigm is required near the edge devices. Within the IoT, fog computing offers computation, storage, and network resources to end-users. The assurance of protection is important because the services of fog computing are available to a wide number of IoT customers. This paper proposes an effective authentication and secure data access between fog and IoT users to achieve authentication and access to data and also a cipher policy-based homomorphic Paillier encryption (CP-HPE), for secure data access between fog node and user. The security and performance analysis show the scheme is apt for fog computing with IoT environment.

A Enhancing Data Security Solutions for Smart Energy Systems in IoT-Enabled Cloud Computing Environments through Lightweight Cryptographic Techniques

“…However, while the integration of IoT devices with cloud computing brings significant benefits, it also presents challenges in terms of data security and privacy [4]. Lightweight cryptographic [5] approaches are essential to maintain data confidentiality and integrity within cloud systems on these devices, which are frequently resource-constrained. The limited computational power of IoT devices makes traditional encryption techniques ineffective.…”
