| Abstract | The fusion of peer-to-peer (P2P) fog network and the traditional three-tier fog computing architecture allows fog devices to conjointly pool their resources together for improved service provisioning and better bandwidth utilization. However, any unauthorized access to the fog network may have calamitous consequences. In this paper, a new lightweight two-party authenticated and key agreement (AKA) protocol is proposed for fog-to-fog collaboration. The security analysis of the protocol reveals that it is resilient to possible attacks. Moreover, the validation of the protocol conducted using the broadly-accepted Automated Verification of internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) shows that it is safe for practical deployment. The performance evaluation in terms of computation and communication overheads demonstrates its transcendence over the state-of-the-art protocols. |
