Secure Data Sharing and Searching at the Edge of Cloud-Assisted Internet of Things

Over the last few years, smart devices are able to communicate with each other and with Internet/cloud from short to long range. As a consequence, a new paradigm is introduced called Internet of Things (IoT). However, by utilizing cloud computing, resource limited IoT smart devices can get various benefits like offload data storage and processing burden at cloud. To support latency sensitive, real-time data processing, mobility and high data rate IoT applications, working at the edge of the network offers more benefits than cloud. In this paper, we propose an efficient data sharing scheme that allows smart devices to securely share data with others at the edge of cloud-assisted IoT. In addition, we also propose a secure searching scheme to search desired data within own/shared data on storage. Finally, we analyze the performance based on processing time of our proposed scheme. The results demonstrate that our scheme has potential to be effectively used in IoT applications.
