DATA SECURITY AND SEARCH OPTIMIZATION IN IOT ECOSYSTEMS WITH CLOUD-EDGE COLLABORATION

Abstract

Intelligent devices can now communicate over both short and long distances with each other and with the Internet or cloud. The Internet of Things signifies a novel paradigm (IoT).Nonetheless, utilizing cloud computing enables resource-constrained IoT smart devices to obtain several benefits, including the delegation of data processing and storage responsibilities to the cloud. Operating at the network's periphery provides greater benefits than utilizing the cloud for IoT applications necessitating elevated data rates, mobility, and latency-sensitive real-time data processing. This paper proposes an efficient data-sharing system that facilitates secure communication of data among smart devices at the periphery of cloud-assisted IoT. We propose a secure search method to locate specific data within personal or shared storage. Ultimately, we assess the processing time efficiency of our proposed method. The results indicate that our strategy has the potential to be effective in IoT applications. Due to the heightened computational demands of security-oriented operations, resource-constrained IoT smart devices are incapable of managing these intensive computations.
