Summary

The fog-cloud assisted Internet of Things (IoT) aware applications are rapidly evolving and transforming people's lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical devices such as smartphones, smart-watches, sensors, actuators, and thermostats, allowing them to collect and exchange data. According to industry estimates, the number of IoT devices connected will exceed hundreds of billions by 2025. With its ubiquitous connectivity and ultimate functionality, the IoT assisted fog-cloud network introduces security and privacy challenges. The following sections discuss IoT security and privacy concerns. Threats to IoT security do not just exist in cyberspace; they also exist in the physical world. Threats to IoT security do not just exist in cyberspace; they also exist in the physical world. To improve the end-to-end security of IoT devices, both cyberspace and the physical world must be protected. Because of the heterogeneity among devices and service providers, as well as the massive-scale, geographically distributed data in IoT applications, addressing IoT security presents specific challenges. IoT devices may collect sensitive information about users or organizations for privacy reasons. Differential privacy and federated learning are two recent methods that aim to protect privacy in various ways. The application of these methods in the IoT context is both a research and a practical concern.

    Abstract The wide application of intelligent terminals in microgrids has fueled the surge of data amount in recent years. In real-world scenarios, microgrids must store large amounts of data efficiently while also being able to withstand malicious cyberattacks. To meet the high hardware resource requirements, address the vulnerability to network attacks and poor reliability in the traditional centralized data storage schemes, this paper proposes a secure storage management method for microgrid data that considers node trust and directed acyclic graph (DAG) consensus mechanism. Firstly, the microgrid data storage model is designed based on the edge computing technology. The blockchain, deployed on… More >
