Fog computing: Common security issues and proposed countermeasures

Fog computing is one of the most important paradigms used in modern world as an extension to cloud computing. Like Cloud Computing, it provides data storage, manipulation and computation of data, but to the edge of the network, i.e. to the user end. This research paper deals with the threat to security issues, especially with location privacy and data confidentiality. The way service providers as well as government can access users data is covered. Furthermore the misconceptions about the rights of users are discussed. Finally the concept of decoy technique with some modification for location and data privacy is also covered.
