In the age of digitalization, business-to-business (B2B) data sharing is becoming increasingly important, enabling organizations to collaborate and make informed decisions as well as simplifying operations and hopefully creating a cost-effective virtual value chain. This is crucial to the success of modern businesses, especially global business. However, this approach also comes with significant privacy and security challenges, thus requiring robust mechanisms to protect sensitive information. After analyzing the evolving status of B2B data sharing, the purpose of this study is to provide insights into the design of theoretical framework solutions for the field. This study adopts technologies including encryption, access control, data anonymization, and audit trails, with the common goal of striking a balance between facilitating data sharing and protecting data confidentiality as well as data integrity. In addition, emerging technologies such as homomorphic encryption, blockchain, and their applicability as well as advantages in the B2B data sharing environment are explored. The results of this study offer a new approach to managing complex data sharing between organizations, providing a strategic mix of traditional and innovative solutions to promote secure and efficient digital collaboration.

Fog computing (FC) is a distributed architecture in which computing resources and services are placed on edge devices closer to data sources. This enables more efficient data processing, shorter latency times, and better performance. Fog computing was shown to be a promising solution for addressing the new computing requirements. However, there are still many challenges to overcome to utilize this new computing paradigm, in particular, reliability and security. Following this need, a systematic literature review was conducted to create a list of requirements. As a result, the following four key requirements were formulated: (1) low latency and response times; (2) scalability and resource management; (3) fault tolerance and redundancy; and (4) privacy and security. Low delay and response can be achieved through edge caching, edge real-time analyses and decision making, and mobile edge computing. Scalability and resource management can be enabled by edge federation, virtualization and containerization, and edge resource discovery and orchestration. Fault tolerance and redundancy can be enabled by backup and recovery mechanisms, data replication strategies, and disaster recovery plans, with a residual number system (RNS) being a promising solution. Data security and data privacy are manifested in strong authentication and authorization mechanisms, access control and authorization management, with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and the secret sharing system (SSS) being of particular interest.
