A mechanism of fog computing environment is employed in order to enhance the cloud computing services toward the edge devices in a range of locations with low latency. A fog computing environment is effective when compared to cloud computing for providing communication between various edge devices such as smart devices and mobile devices used by users in the same location. Even though fog servicing extends the best services of cloud computing, it also suffers from a set of security threats like authentication, key management, data privacy and trust management. Authentication with effective key management between edge devices is the most pressing security issue in fog computing. This paper proposes an effective two-way authentication between edge devices with key management in fog computing environments (TAKM-FC). The edge nodes are the user's mobile devices and set of smart devices controlled by the fog server. To improve the proposed authentication system, we have made use of techniques like fuzzy extractor and one-way hash with cryptographic primitives. The proposed TAKM-FC scheme is validated mathematically based on the ROR model and then verified using the ProVerif tool. The TAKM-FC scheme has been evaluated using iFogSim to measure the performance parameters like throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss, energy consumption and network usage. The overhead analysis of the proposed scheme is carried out and shows that the computation cost, communication cost and storage cost are improved by 11–21%, 8–19% and 6–13%, respectively, compared to existing schemes.
