Fog computing is a revolutionary technology that, by expanding the cloud computing paradigm to the network edge, brings a significant achievement in the resource-constrained IoT applications in intelligent environments. However, security matters still challenge the extensive deployment of fog computing infrastructure. Ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption prepares a solution for data sharing and security preservation issues in fog-enhanced intelligent environments. Nevertheless, the lack of an effective mechanism to moderate the execution time of CP-ABE schemes due to the diversity of attributes used in secret key and access structure, as well as ensuring data security, practically restricts the deployment of such schemes. In this regard, a collaborative semantic model, including an outsourced CP-ABE scheme with the attribute revocation ability, together with an impressive AES algorithm relying on an ensemble learning system, was proposed in this study. The ensemble learning model uses multiple classifiers, including the GMDH, SVM, and KNN, to specify attributes corresponding to CP-ABE. The Dragonfly algorithm with a semantic leveling method generates outstanding and practical feature subsets. The experimental results on five smart building datasets indicate that the recommended model performs more accurately than existing methods. Also, the encryption, decryption, and attribute revocation execution time are significantly modified with the average time of 1.95, 2.11, and 14.64 ms, respectively, compared to existing works and conducted the scheme's security.

This paper proposes a novel approach that uses a spectral clustering method to cluster patients with e-health IoT devices based on their similarity and distance and connect each cluster to an SDN edge node for efficient caching. The proposed MFO-Edge Caching algorithm is considered for selecting the near-optimal data options for caching based on considered criteria and improving QoS. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms other methods in terms of performance, achieving decrease in average time between data retrieval delays and the cache hit rate of 76%. Emergency and on-demand requests are prioritized for caching response packets, while periodic requests have a lower cache hit ratio of 35%. The approach shows improvement in performance compared to other methods, highlighting the effectiveness of SDN-Edge caching and clustering for optimizing e-health network resources.
