Future of Fog Domain
Title: Future of Fog Domain
Abstract:
In this paper, we are going to focus on the new technology which is named as Fog domain.
We will also focus on the security issues which exist in the existing technology i.e. cloud
computing which helps in clear understanding of the issues of fog domain.
The security issues which exist with the cloud domain are operational feasibility for
controlling the flow of data to the unknown third party and the user security issues exist with
the deployment of different cloud models.
The fog domain is the new concept in the cloud computing environment. It is the extension of
the traditional cloud computing which works on the virtualized framework of network. It is
capable of providing stackable storage system, pool of resources, network services, and
computation facility. It is capable of managing communication between heterogeneous
devices for the completion of the task. Low latency is the major advantage of using fog
computing.
There are some securities issues which exist with the fog computing environment are keeping
trust on the fog service providers for providing internet services, managing wireless carrier
system and network of base station, legitimacy of the rogue fog node, authentication for
providing the network services, managing scalability between different nodes, attacks from
the third party, security related with the storage of data, and others.
The completion of the research study on the future of fog domain help us to review the
literature available on the fog computing, explores the issues, challenges, and preferred
solution to overcome the problem with the fog computing, future scope of the proposal, and
lastly what are the pros and cons of implementing the fog domain over cloud computing
technology.
The concept of fog computing helps in providing the network services to the edge of the
complete network. The fog computing is capable of providing data, storage of data, and
computation of data according to the user requirement. The implementation of fog domain is
advantageous for the software defined network. The study of fog computing paradigm helps
in investigate the security issues and challenges which exist with the fog domain and what are
the preferred solutions to resolve the security concern area of the newer technology. The

undertaken research study helps us to investigate the security issues raised by the interaction
of the third party to resolve it efficiently for the smooth functioning of the fog domain in
sharing of files and services over the network.
