MIMIC: a Cybersecurity Threat Turns into a Fog Computing Agent for IoT Systems

Fog and cloud computing are very attractive enabling technologies for Internet of Things applications. The virtualization of smart devices which compose the Internet of Things network is a promising field of research, leading to the design and development of new services and uses. To the best of our knowledge, this paper presents the first attempt to use a cybersecurity attack to realize a fog computing agent for Internet of Things systems. In particular the Man-In-The-Middle attack will be use to show the foundation of the proposed Man-In-the-Middle-Iot-Computing tool, namely MIMIC, and through the examples and tests performed we will show its potentialities.
