Fog computing, applications , security and challenges, review
The internet of things originates a world where on daily basis objects can join the internet and interchange information and in addition process, store, gather them from the nearby environment, and effectively mediate on it. A remarkable number of services might be imagined by abusing the internet of things. Fog computing which is otherwise called edge computing was introduced in 2012 as a considered is a prioritized choice for the internet of things applications. As fog computing extend services of cloud near to the edge of the network and make possible computations, communications, and storage services in proximity to the end user. Fog computing cannot only provide low latency, location awareness but also enhance real-time applications, quality of services, mobility, security and privacy in the internet of things applications scenarios. In this paper, we will summarize and overview fog computing model architecture, characteristic, similar paradigm and various applications in real-time scenarios such as smart grid, traffic control system and augmented reality. Finally, security challenges are presented
Security in transnational interoperable PPDR communications: threats and requirements
The relevance of cross border security operations
has been identified as a priority at European level for a long time.
A European network where Public Protection and Disaster Relief
(PPDR) forces share communications processes and a legal
framework would greatly enforce response to disaster recovery
and security against crime. Nevertheless, uncertainty on costs,
timescale and functionalities have slowed down the
interconnection of PPDR networks across countries and limited
the transnational cooperation of their PPDR forces so far. In this
context, the European research project ISITEP is aimed at
developing the legal, operational and technical framework to
achieve a cost effective solution for PPDR interoperability across
European countries. Inter alia, ISITEP project is specifying a
new Inter-System-Interface (ISI) interface for the
interconnection of current TETRA and TETRAPOL networks
that can be deployed over Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity.
This approach turns communications security as a central aspect
to consider when deploying the new IP ISI protocol between
PPDR national networks. Ensuring that threats to the
interconnected communications systems and terminals are
sufficiently and appropriately reduced by technical, procedural
and environmental countermeasures is vital to realise the trusted
and secure communication system needed for the pursued PPDR
transnational cooperation activities. In this context, this paper
describes the framework and methodology defined to carry out
the development of the security requirements and provides a
discussion on the undertaken security risk and vulnerability
analysis.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
TRENDS IN ELECTRONIC COMMERCE SECURITY: A MANAGERIAL BRIEF AND TEACHING NOTE
The Internet and similar networks provide new infrastructures for communications and
commerce. These open networks interconnect computers across many different
organizations with dramatically lower communications and distributed applications
development costs. This motivates businesses to transfer commercial activity from closed
private networks to open networks like the Internet.
However, open network architectures are vulnerable to a number of different security
threats. While many different hardware and software solutions exist to secure transactions
over the Internet, greater consensus is required by companies and consumers on the
processes, organizations and application of existing technical solutions for secure
electronic commerce. Greater consensus on security among trading parties will lower the
costs of electronic commerce and accelerate its deployment on the Internet.Information Systems Working Papers Serie
Enabling Practical IPsec authentication for the Internet
On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems 2006: OTM 2006 Workshops (First International Workshop on Information Security (IS'06), OTM Federated Conferences and workshops). Montpellier, Oct,/Nov. 2006There is a strong consensus about the need for IPsec, although its use is not widespread for end-to-end communications. One of the main reasons for this is the difficulty for authenticating two end-hosts that do not share a secret or do not rely on a common Certification Authority. In this paper we propose a modification to IKE to use reverse DNS and DNSSEC (named DNSSEC-to-IKE) to provide end-to-end authentication to Internet hosts that do not share any secret, without requiring the deployment of a new infrastructure. We perform a comparative analysis in terms of requirements, provided security and performance with state-of-the-art IKE authentication methods and with a recent proposal for IPv6 based on CGA. We conclude that DNSSEC-to-IKE enables the use of IPsec in a broad range of scenarios in which it was not applicable, at the price of offering slightly less security and incurring in higher performance costs.Universidad de Montpellier IIPublicad
