Abstract: The internet of things (IoT) and the fog computing paradigm are the next wave in the era of computing and have been emerging technologies in the fields of computer science and information technology. Prior research concentrates on the integration of IoT and fog computing but is limited because it cannot be extended to all applications due to inadequate security architecture. In this paper, we propose a biocryptography approach using biometric key generation for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based on the authentication of fog computing. In biometric-based ECC, a private key is generated via the fingerprint of the user ensures complete protection against security risks such as confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and privacy. The security strengths of various public key cryptosystems are analysed, and ECC is one of the best cryptosystems for fog-based IoT middleware.
