Secure authentication scheme with Archimedes optimization algorithm for load balancing technique in fog computing

In this paper, to develop an efficient secure authentication scheme and load balancing technique in fog computing. To achieve an efficient secure authentical scheme in addition load balancing method in fog computing, Hybrid Edge DataCenters (HEDC) is developed in this paper. Normally, the EDC can be utilized to set up as a distributed system in addition it is located among the data source and cloud datacentre. This EDC network is also placed in the intermediate layer in the fog hierarchy among cloud datacentres in addition Internet of Things (IoT). This EDC is operated as an intermediate layer in fog computing which is responsible for load balancers and secure authentication in distributing the workload. This EDC fails to achieve efficient secure authentication and manage the workload in fog computing. So, the proposed HEDC is utilized to enable efficient authentication and workload management (load balancing). The proposed method is a combination of EDC and Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA). Based on resource utilization and response time, efficient load balancing is achieved. Additionally, the secure authentication scheme is also attained with the assistance of the HEDC.
