Double Rainbows: A Promising Distributed Data Sharing in Augmented Intelligence of Things

The Augmented Intelligence of Things enables many edge or end devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) to perform machine reasoning to make decisions, thus become more intelligent. For healthcare enterprises, huge physical data generated by smart devices facilitate to iterate their products. However, traditional data sharing models based on cloud outsourcing meet many security challenges, such as data confidentiality, reliability, and privacy protection, and most existing schemes have high computational complexity for the utilization of time-consuming cryptographic operations, such as bilinear pairing, which is not suitable for those resource-constrained IoT devices. To tackle the abovementioned issues, we present Double Rainbows, a promising data sharing scheme based on pairing-free searchable encryption. It is constructed on the cloud-edge-end architecture, supporting computing task transfer and reliable data storage and retrieval. The experimental results show that it outperforms in efficiency and exhibit more security functionalities.
