Security Challenges for Fog Computing Enabled Internet of Things from Authentication Perspective

Abstract

Fog-enabled IoT is a new paradigm that extends the Cloud computing platform by providing services and resources on the edge of network and also integrated with Internet of Things. Our paper proposed a Fog based Internet of Things platform where computing and storing services deployed on the edge of network to provide excellent services to users. For efficient IoT development, fog computing based IoT proposed which is the future IoT infrastructure. This paper first explores a comparison between Fog Computing and other technologies. Security issues are presented in Fog-enabled IoT system. Authentication plays important roles in realizing security issues. So this paper also investigates issues related to authentication and presented a security model for authentication between Intermediate storage (Fog Node) and Data centre (Cloud System). At the end of paper, AES is discussed which will be useful to implement our proposed system in resource constrained environment and finally discussed some open research issues and questions from the authentication point of view.
