A Review on Data protection and privacy in Fog Computing Network

Abstract

Fog computing involves processing at network edge before the data is moved to core network or centralized clouds. Especially with the growth of billions of IoT devices, Fog computing processing at network edge has many advantages in the form of efficient data processing, ability to react to events quickly, reduction in networking bandwidth, and reduction in storage size at cloud, etc. The advantages come with a risk in terms of data security and information leakage. With computing at network edge, the breach of privacy of data generators is also a severe risk. This work studies the existing solutions for information protection and secure information processing as well as load balancing at network edges of Fog computing network. The goal of this work is to identify the open areas in information protection and load balancing on Fog computing network.
