Distinct Features

Fog computing is a term coined by networking giant Cisco. It is a new paradigm that extends the cloud computing model by conferring computation, storage, and application services at the periphery of networks. Fog computing is a gifted paradigm of cloud computing that facilitates the mobility, portability, heterogeneity, and processing of voluminous data. These distinct features of fog help to reduce latency and make it suitable for location-sensitive applications. Fog computing features raise new security concerns and challenges. The existing cloud security has not been implemented directly due to mobility, heterogeneity of fog nodes. As we know, IoT has to process large amount of data quickly; therefore, it has various functionality-driven applications that escalate security concerns. The primary aim of this chapter is to present the most recent security aspects such as authentication and trust, reputation-based trust model, rogue fog node and authentication at different level, security threats, challenges, and also highlights the future aspects of fog.

Now a days, cloud computing is an emerging and way of computing in computer science. Cloud computing is a set of resources and services that are offered by the network or internet. Cloud computing extends various computing techniques like grid computing, distributed compu-ting. Today cloud computing is used in both industrial, research and academic field. Cloud facilitates its users by providing virtual resources via internet. As the field of cloud computing is spreading the new techniques are developing. This increase in cloud computing environment also increases security challenges for cloud developers. Users of cloud save their data in the cloud hence the lack of security in cloud can lose the user’s trust.In this paper we will discuss some of the cloud security issues in various aspects like multi-tenancy, elasticity, reliability, availability etc in various sectors, the paper also discuss existing security techniques and approaches for a secure cloud environment.

Cloud computing can help organizations accomplish more by paying less and breaking the physical boundaries between IT infrastructure and its users, however heightened security threats must be overcome in order to benefit fully from this new computing exemplar. The objective of this research was to determine the fundamental cloud security challenges experienced by SMEs in Kenya. Descriptive survey was therefore chosen for this study because the researcher was interested in the opinions of the respondents in terms of security challenges in cloud computing. The primary area of study for this research was Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa and the target population for this study were the Top 100 SME companies in Kenya as of 2016. This information could be useful and vital to policy makers and researchers who are making efforts to improve security in the field of Cloud Computing.

Smart vehicles participating in VANET have high computing capabilities which lead the demand to support more applications that give safety and effective measures to people. The vehicles in VANET are taking the help of cloud services for communication, computation and storage which benefits in economical way and we call that as vehicular cloud computing (VCC). Due to certain limitations in VCC and also demand for more quality of service applications in smart vehicles a new paradigm called vehicular fog computing (VFC) is proposed which helps to overcome limitations in VCC and provide more quality services to users participating in VANET. Some of the security challenges and possible attacks in VFC are also stated.

Fog computing is a new paradigm believed to be an extension of cloud computing and services to the sting of the network. Similarly, like Cloud, Fog provides computing, data, storage, and various application services to the connected end-users. Fog computing uses one or a lot of combined end users or nearby end users edge devices to perform the configuration, communication, storage, control activity, and management functions over the infrastructure supported. This new paradigm solves the latency and information measure limitation issues encountered from the cloud computing. Primarily, the architecture of the fog computing is discussed and analyzed during this work and then indicates the connected potential security and trust problems. Then, however such problems are tackled within the existing literature is systematically reportable. Finally, the open challenges, analysis, trends, and future topics of security and trust in fog computing are mentioned.

High Scalability

Pushing computing, control, data storage, and processing into the cloud has been a key trend in the past decade. However, the cloud alone encounters growing limitations, such as reduced latency, high mobility, high scalability, and real-time execution in order to meet the upcoming computing and intelligent networking demands. A new paradigm called fog computing has emerged to overcome these limits. Fog extends cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. It provides data, computing, storage, and application services to end-users that can be hosted at the network edge. It reduces service latency, and improves QoS/QoE, that results in superior user experience. This chapter is about introduction and overview of fog computing, comparison between fog computing and cloud computing, fog computing and mobile edge computing, possible fog computing architecture, applications of fog computing, and possible research directions.

The Internet Of Things

The internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing are two technologies which have recently changed both the academia and industry and impacted our daily lives in different ways. However, despite their impact, both technologies have their shortcomings. Though being cheap and convenient, cloud services consume a huge amount of network bandwidth. Furthermore, the physical distance between data source(s) and the data centre makes delays a frequent problem in cloud computing infrastructures. Fog computing has been proposed as a distributed service computing model that provides a solution to these limitations. It is based on a para-virtualized architecture that fully utilizes the computing functions of terminal devices and the advantages of local proximity processing. This paper proposes a multi-layer IoT-based fog computing model called IoT-FCM, which uses a genetic algorithm for resource allocation between the terminal layer and fog layer and a multi-sink version of the least interference beaconing protocol (LIBP) called least interference multi-sink protocol (LIMP) to enhance the fault-tolerance/robustness and reduce energy consumption of a terminal layer. Simulation results show that compared to the popular max–min and fog-oriented max–min, IoT-FCM performs better by reducing the distance between terminals and fog nodes by at least 38% and reducing energy consumed by an average of 150 KWh while being at par with the other algorithms in terms of delay for high number of tasks.
