Abstract

Network printers face increasing security threats from network attacks that can lead to sensitive information leakage and data tampering. To address these risks, we propose a novel Fibonacci-Diffie-Hellman (FIB-DH) encryption scheme using edge cloud collaboration. Our approach utilizes properties of third-order Fibonacci matrices combined with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange to encrypt printer data transmissions. The encrypted data is transmitted via edge cloud servers and verified by the receiver using inverse Fibonacci transforms. Our experiments demonstrate that the FIB-DH scheme can effectively improve printer data transmission security against common attacks compared to conventional methods. The results show reduced vulnerabilities to leakage and tampering attacks in our approach. This work provides an innovative application of cryptographic techniques to strengthen security for network printer communications.
