Lightweight fog based solution for privacy-preserving in IoT using blockchain

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) mainly depends on clouds to process and store their data. Clouds cannot handle the volume and velocity of data generated by IoT. IoT is delay-sensitive and resources limited. Fog computing proposed endorsing the internet of things (IoT) demands. Fog computing extends the cloud computing service to the edge of the network. Fog utilization reduces response time and network overhead while maintaining security aspects. isolation and operating system (OS) dependency achieved by using virtualization. Blockchain proposed to solve the security and privacy of fog computing. Blockchain is a decentralized, immutable ledger. fog computing with blockchain proposed as an IoT infrastructure. Fog computing adopted with lightweight blockchain in this proposed work. This adaptation endorses the IoT demands for low response time with limited resources. This paper explores system applicability. Varies from other papers that focus on one factor such as privacy or security—applicability of the proposed model achieved by concentration different IoT needs and limits. Response time and ram usage with 1000 transactions did not encroach 100s and 300MiB in the proposed model.
