Abstract

Fog computing network plays a significant role in enhancing the communication between the end users and the cloud server accompanying high security. The quality of service of the systems could be greatly enhanced by these fog computing technologies that provide high computation capability, storage and enhanced network connectivity. The transmission of data through this technology is highly vulnerable to various threatening especially medical data are highly vulnerable due to their sensitivity. In this research, a trust based fog computing authentication model is enabled for assuring the security of the data transmission. The proposed model is executed in five different phases that includes setup phase, user registration phase, Fog node registration phase, login phase and authentication phase and each phase performs a specific function to improve the security. In each phase the data are transmitted in the encrypted form that is performed using the Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm that ensured the security of the data and this algorithm could be enabled to both public and private sectors. In every phase the data are authenticated and the users are validated for the proceeding of authentication and this authorized access enhances the security level of the systems. The efficiency of the proposed trust based fog computing authentication model is proved by measuring the parameters detection rate, computation time, storage capability, vulnerability rate and privacy ratio that attained the improvement of 5% in detection rate, 42% in computational time, 31.51% memory usage, 82.41% vulnerability rate and 27.53% privacy ratio that shows the superiority of the proposed method.
