Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Cloud services are rapidly expanding to devices at network edge where they are referred to as fog clouds. User smartphones, portable WiFi devices, vehicles, etc., can be easily incorporated into fog clouds. However, proliferation has been slow mainly because the 3G/LTE connections used by such devices to connect to the cloud are congested and cannot provide satisfactory throughput. This problem can be resolved when devices are grouped, their 3G/LTE resources are pooled and their virtual use is optimized within the group. This paper is the first known attempt to propose a minimal secure protocol for forming groups of WiFi IoT devices. The minimal requirement is that the pairwise handshake is a 3-party transaction, with the cloud being both the facilitator of the transaction as well as the only trusted party. The handshake starts at the level of WiFi Access Points (hotspots) but, once paired, the devices are assumed to use P2P WiFi in parallel with the active 3G/LTE connection, i.e. as part of a GroupConnect session. The proposal is implemented and successfully tested on Android devices.
