The rapid growth of connected things across the globe has been brought about by the deployment of the Internet of things (IoTs) at home, in organizations and industries. The innovation of smart things is envisioned through various protocols, but the most prevalent protocols are pub-sub protocols such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). An emerging paradigm of communication architecture for IoTs support is Fog computing in which events are processed near to the place they occur for efficient and fast response time. One of the major concerns in the adoption of Fog computing based publish-subscribe protocols for the Internet of things is the lack of security mechanisms because the existing security protocols such as SSL/TSL have a large overhead of computations, storage and communications. To address these issues, we propose a secure, Fog computing based publish-subscribe lightweight protocol using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for the Internet of Things. We present analytical proofs and results for resource efficient security, comparing to the existing protocols of traditional Internet.
