Fog Computing Network Security Based on Resources Management

Abstract

Fog Computing paradigm is designed as an extension of cloud computing due to the need for a supporting platform that is capable to provide the requirements of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, due to its features, fog obviously confronts numerous security and privacy risks, such as huge scale geolocation, heterogeneity, and mobility. Indeed, there are many problems resulting from security violations and breaches. Thus, to exceed these problems, we propose an efficient access control system, ameliorated with appropriate monitoring function and risk estimation. Moreover, a comprehensive resource management mechanism is proposed to ameliorate the system performance and so to maintain low latency. Our aim is to further enhance data security, privacy and resource management for IoT-users. To demonstrate the efficiency, feasibility, and security of our proposed scheme, we perform an extensive simulation using Network Security Simulator (Nessi2).
