Exploiting Digital Identity for Mobility in Fog Computing

Abstract

Fog computing is the answer to the emerging need of mobility support, mostly due to the deployment of the Internet of Things. In this paper, motivated by the many security and privacy issues found in handling device’s handover in Fog computing, we propose a new approach based on the possibilities offered by the recent EU regulation eIDAS, for improving the security in the identification of users, when they require data mobility.
