A Lightweight Security Scheme for Failure Detection in Microservices IoT-Edge Networks

Nowadays, microservices-based applications such as E-Business, E-Healthcare, 3D-Gaming,
and Augmented Reality has latterly drawn attention in the research area. The microservices enabled
applications are different from traditional monolithic
applications with the high demand of security and fault
detection, therefore, a lightweight secure and failure detection enabled schemes widely required for
the new applications. This paper proposes a new
lightweight microservices mobile cloud (Mob-Cloud)
the framework that replaces the heavyweight virtual
machine (VM) based on mobile cloud computing
(MCC). The study devises MFHE (Modified Fully
Homomorphism Encryption) and WATFA (Workload
Assignment Transient Fault Aware) schemes to deal
with security and failures. Simulation results show
that the proposals are practical for the considered
problem
