Fog Computing: A Comprehensive Review on Security Analysis, Attacks, and Future Prospects

Abstract

Fog computing, as an extension of cloud computing to corporate networks, facilitates communication between endpoint devices and data centers for processing, storing, and utilizing network services. With the increasing adoption of cloud storage by individuals and corporations, information security has become a growing concern. This diverse range of capabilities raises security issues related to data, reliability, privacy, and network communication. This paper extensively examines safety concerns and various techniques within fog computing designed to address these challenges. It introduces a technological taxonomy, categorizing fog security concerns and their solutions into three main areas: network service, data processing, and privacy. The study surveys current literature to identify security-focused research approaches and associated fog computing solutions, analyzing them from analytical and statistical perspectives. The document delves into server issues and explores the pros and cons of suggested cloud protection strategies. Drawing on the findings, the paper puts forward proposals to tackle fog computing security issues. Finally, it outlines future research directions aimed at the development, deployment, and maintenance of fog systems, taking into consideration existing challenges
