3. Fog computing
• Fog computing is an extension of Cloud Computing. Few researchers
treat fog computing as edge computing. Nowadays, billions of users
use fog/ edge enable IoT devices. Simultaneously, a trillion GB of data
is generated every second.
• That massive amount of data is needed to be secured. IoT has
become popular day by day, and Cisco introduced Fog Computing (FC)
for the excellent management of the devices[4]. A three-layer
architecture is suggested by CISCO that supports several real-life
items like energy grid, buildings, smart cities etc.

5. Application of Fog in Real Word
• Fog computing is becoming popular daily due to the advancement of
fog computing over cloud computing like bandwidth, latency, and
connectivity issues.
• Many-reputed organizations prefer fog in real-life. Nowadays, almost
all IoT devices are associated with fog computing. Such applications
widely use fog computing as a backbone of the entire system rather
than cloud computing.
• The following example cover two major applications of fog
computing.

10. Conclusions:
• This article covers the architecture of fog computing in details. Few
real life applications along with their working principles is also
highlighted.
• In this particular article, we have mainly focus the security issues and
its solution in different aspects.
• This paper also highlighted the loopholes in every layer in FC. We also
make a roadmap to the future researcher that they can find the all
related work in one umbrella.
