Original Abstract

Several heterogeneous network designs have been developed to fulfill user experience needs, driven by widely growing applications needing large data processing, such as Industry 4.0. Fog computing is one of them since it allows for the efficient integration and exploitation of ubiquitous computing resources. Willingness and service billing concerns become important in fog computing situations for computing resource sharing. The present fog systems, on the other hand, are vulnerable to malicious attacks. The integration of blockchain technology into the fog computing environment is characterized by successfully allowing consensus in an untrustworthy environment. However, creating public blockchains requires a lot of processing power, which can quickly deplete the computational resources of IoT-enabled Smart Machines (SM) in Industry 4.0. This study suggests partitioning the fog system into fog clusters (FC), with fog nodes (FN) in each cluster sharing the same access control list (ACL) that is protected by a public blockchain. Therefore, Blockchain-enabled Resource Sharing inside SM in Fog networks (B-RSSF)- a novel architecture for computing resource sharing in fog networks is proposed. B-RSSF has specified physical architecture, design principles, and inner workings. To make full and effective use of ubiquitous computing resources, fog computing’s wireless features and blockchain technology are tightly integrated. In addition, an enhanced PoW consensus mechanism for reaching consensus in an untrustworthy fog environment has been discussed. Finally, the experimental results have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme over other existing schemes in a fog-based environment.
