A secure fog-based communication scheme
Arij Ben Amor, Mohamed Abid, Aref Meddeb · 2017
In the Cloud-Fog architecture, a secure communication scheme will be necessary between fog clients and dynamic fog servers. Our solution presents a generic model that ensures trust between Fog clients and Fog servers at the Fog layer. We propose a fog client-fog server secure communication in which fog client and fog server establish a session key without exchanging extra-parameters. Our scheme is based on Elliptic Curve, Discrete Logarithm Problem ECDLP and bilinear pairing to establish the session key. To evaluate the new solution and demonstrate its effectiveness, a security analysis and a performance evaluation with MIRACL library are presented.
