SECURITY ANALYSIS OF THE OPENFOG REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

Fog computing is а system-level architecture that distributes resources and services along a cloud-to-thing continuum. Today the fog computing is actively developing. In this paper, we present the security analysis of the fog computing architecture that is developed by OpenFog Consortium. During the analysis, we studied the following communication types: Node-to-Node, Node-to-Cloud, and Node-to-Device. For each communication types, we reviewed the security protocols, and identified the potential threats and vulnerabilities. In addition, the Open Fog Reference Architecture threat model that describes the types of threats, their implementation levels, and security aspects to which threats relate was examined.
