Enhancing Secure Mutual Authentication in Mobile Fog Computing Environment

Abstract

Fog computing that extends the cloud nearby to the IoT devices. The advent of IoT technology generates a huge amount of data and is processed in the cloud, this increases the latency. Many time-sensitive applications are affected by delayed response. Fog computing solves the latency problem by processing near the data generating device. Because of the nature of fog computing mobility support, dynamic environment, geographic distribution, location awareness existing schemes do not provide better security. To address these issues, this paper provides mutual secure authentication between each entity in the fog like between the cloud and fog node, between fog node and gateway, between gateway and IoT device. This security mechanism improves the authentication in the fog network. Mobility-based authentication providing mechanism can be implemented with the MobFogSim mobility dataset that is collected from the Luxembourg traffic. Migration of the node is considered in mobility secure authentication.
