Cyber Security in Fog Computing Using Blockchain: A Mini Literature Review

Due to its many uses and ability to save and restore data, whether for businesses or individuals, cloud computing has become one of the mainstays in the technology world over the past few years. However, the limitations on speeds and sizes as well as the evolving of the Internet of Things made it challenging to rely on the cloud due to the extremely slow data processing. Therefore, to store and interpret the massive amount of data rapidly, programmers switched towards a new technology which is fog computing. This mini survey paper will outline fog computing as an integral part of cloud and edge computing for improving security and data protection. A systematic literature review of selected research papers that include findings and algorithms used to enhance security-related problems such as availability, latency, and intrusion detection will be discussed. This mini review paper finds out a state-of-the-art on the cybersecurity issues in fog computing using blockchain.
