Maintaining Data Integrity in Fog Computing Based Critical Infrastructure Systems

Abstract

The evolution of the utilization of technologies in nearly all aspects of life has produced an enormous amount of data essential in a smart city. Therefore, maximizing the benefits of technologies such as cloud computing, fog computing, and the Internet of things is important to manage and manipulate data in smart cities. However, certain types of data are sensitive and risky and may be infiltrated by malicious attacks. As a result, such data may be corrupted, thereby causing concern. The damage inflicted by an attacker on a set of data can spread through an entire database. Valid transactions that have read corrupted data can update other data items based on the values read. In this study, we introduce a unique model that uses fog computing in smart cities to manage utility service companies and consumer data. We also propose a novel technique to assess damage to data caused by an attack. Thus, original data can be recovered, and a database can be returned to its consistent state as no attacking has occurred.

IoT and Blockchain-Based Mask Surveillance System for COVID-19 Prevention Using Deep Learning

“…To work with data storage and management, this research also places a way of database management system in the cloud for interactively real-time data monitoring and storage. 7 shows a block diagram of the layered based architecture of the proposed Blockchainbased scheme [30]. In this figure, the proposed model will utilize a Soft-ware-Defined Networking (SDN) [31] based switch system to work with multiple IoT devices.…”

Data Integrity Preservation Schemes in Smart Healthcare Systems That Use Fog Computing Distribution

“…However, security and privacy issues have largely contributed to the research and contributions of novel concepts and improvement solutions [5,9]. The utilization of fog computing in smart grids, cities, and intelligent systems such as healthcare and government systems to enhance the quality of services provided, and supply security and privacy to consumers has also attracted the attention of researchers [1,[10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, no schemes have been developed to address damage assessment and data recovery in the context of fog computing. The first works to address such issues in fog computing were presented in [1,14,34]. Authors of these proposed schemes scanned entire log files beginning with the onset of the attack.…”

“…In [14], the authors proposed a fog computing-based scheme to deal with utilities management and customers' data in smart cities. The authors focused on detecting and assessing affected data items.…”
