BFIM: Performance Measurement of a Blockchain Based Hierarchical Tree Layered Fog-IoT Microservice Architecture

Abstract

Fog computing complements cloud computing by removing several limitations, such as delays and network bandwidth. It emerged to support Internet of Things (IoT) applications wherein its computations and tasks are carried out at the network's edge. Heterogeneous IoT devices interact with different users throughout a network. However, data security is a crucial concern for IoT, fog and cloud network ecosystems. Since the number of anonymous users increases and new identity disclosures occur within the IoTs, it is becoming challenging to grow mesh networks to deliver end to end communications, as the extended IoT networks resemble a mesh architecture. To reinforce data security over IoTs, we dep..
