SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES IN CLOUD AND FOG DOMAIN
1. Introduction
The Internet of Things or IoT is the core concept in technology that helps to
understand the major areas and advancements of the technological world. RFID as well as
sensor technology are utilized in this sector (Wortmann & Flüchter, 2015). The main
objectives of this Internet of Things is to make the successful connection with both living and
inanimate things, utilize sensors for the purpose of collecting data, changing the type of items
that are communicated over the network and many more. Cloud computing is the easiest
method of transferring all types of data through the connection of Internet, without any
complexity. Fog computing is the computing infrastructure for distributing the applications
and data efficiently and effectively.
1.1. Cloud and Fog Domain
1.1.1. Background
Cloud computing is the part of information technology through which the great access
of shared pools of all types of configurable resources are being frequently provisioned
(Osanaiye et al., 2017). This could only be used when the cloud is connected to the Internet.
It is responsible for minimizing the infrastructure costs. Fogging or fog computing allows the
users to properly distribute the data source as well as the cloud over a decentralized
infrastructure logically. This infrastructure is utilized for the computation, storing or
manipulation of the data or information (Vaquero & Rodero-Merino, 2014). Fog computing
is the extension of cloud computing in the network edges. Thus, it comprises of all the
advantages of cloud computing. The fog domain is utilized by various users.
