Fog computing utilizes devices in the edge network to transmit data with very low latency and supports high mobility. However, fog computing inherits security and privacy problems from cloud computing. Therefore, various privacy schemes for fog computing have been proposed to prevent different types of attacks. Recently, Weng et al proposed a fog computing authentication scheme; after analyzing, we found that Weng et al's scheme cannot resist user tracking attack and user impersonation attack. Then, we propose an improved scheme through adding a password, modifying the calculation method of Ei, and adding timestamps. In addition, we also compare the improved scheme with existing authentication schemes in terms of security and computational efficiency. The results show that the improved scheme is more secure and has less computation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
