Performance and Security Evaluation of Table-based Access Control Applied to IoT Data Distribution Method

抄録

New services can use fog nodes to distribute Internet of Things (IoT) data. To distribute IoT data, we apply the publish/subscribe messaging model to a fog computing system. A service provider assigns a unique identifier, called a Tag ID, to a player who owes data. A Tag ID matches multiple IDs and resolves the naming rule for data acquisition. However, when users configure their fog node and distribute IoT data to multiple players, the distributed data may contain private information. We propose a table-based access control list (ACL) to manage data transmission permissions to address this issue. It is possible to avoid unnecessary transmission of private data by using a table-based ACL. Furthermore, because there are fewer data transmissions, table-based ACL reduces traffic. Consequently, the overall system's average processing delay time can be reduced. The proposed method's performance was confirmed by simulation results. Table-based ACL, particularly, could reduce processing delay time by approximately 25% under certain conditions. We also concentrated on system security. The proposed method was used, and a qualitative evaluation was performed to demonstrate that security is guaranteed.
