Abstract
Data privacy is becoming more important as the internet of things (IoT) rapidly expands. There are significant consequences for the broad adoption of the internet of things. Homomorphic encryption is one possible solution for protecting sensitive data in the IoT. However, there is a great deal of potential for efficiency gains. In order to get enough privacy and security, it is also crucial. Our homomorphic encryption technique for secure and private optical fibre communication is detailed in this publication. The data owner, fog server, and data consumers’ privacy is the primary focus of the proposed architectural design. The performance of this research shows that our FCHE solution improves data security throughout the data storage operation and reduces encryption length. This research also aims to analyse the factors of optical fiber communication cost, storage cost, and computing cost in the context of FCHE.
