Security Implications of Fog Computing on the Internet of Things
Recently, the use of IoT devices and sensors has been rapidly increased which
also caused data generation (information and logs), bandwidth usage, and
related phenomena to be increased. To our best knowledge, a standard definition
for the integration of fog computing with IoT is emerging now. This integration
will bring many opportunities for the researchers, especially while building
cyber-security related solutions. In this study, we surveyed about the
integration of fog computing with IoT and its implications. Our goal was to
find out and emphasize problems, specifically security related problems that
arise with the employment of fog computing by IoT. According to our findings,
although this integration seems to be non-trivial and complicated, it has more
benefits than the implications.Comment: 5 pages, conference paper, to appear in Proceedings of the ICCE 2019,

Multipath Routing of Fragmented Data Transfer in a Smart Grid Environment
The purpose of this paper is to do a general survey on the existing
communication modes inside a smart grid, the existing security loopholes and
their countermeasures. Then we suggest a detailed countermeasure, building upon
the Jigsaw based secure data transfer [8] for enhanced security of the data
flow inside the communication system of a smart grid. The paper has been
written without the consideration of any factor of inoperability between the
various security techniques inside a smart gridComment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Will SDN be part of 5G?
For many, this is no longer a valid question and the case is considered
settled with SDN/NFV (Software Defined Networking/Network Function
Virtualization) providing the inevitable innovation enablers solving many
outstanding management issues regarding 5G. However, given the monumental task
of softwarization of radio access network (RAN) while 5G is just around the
corner and some companies have started unveiling their 5G equipment already,
the concern is very realistic that we may only see some point solutions
involving SDN technology instead of a fully SDN-enabled RAN. This survey paper
identifies all important obstacles in the way and looks at the state of the art
of the relevant solutions. This survey is different from the previous surveys
on SDN-based RAN as it focuses on the salient problems and discusses solutions
proposed within and outside SDN literature. Our main focus is on fronthaul,
backward compatibility, supposedly disruptive nature of SDN deployment,
business cases and monetization of SDN related upgrades, latency of general
purpose processors (GPP), and additional security vulnerabilities,
softwarization brings along to the RAN. We have also provided a summary of the
architectural developments in SDN-based RAN landscape as not all work can be
covered under the focused issues. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on
the state of the art of SDN-based RAN and clearly points out the gaps in the
technology.Comment: 33 pages, 10 figure
