Analysis of Fog Computing: An Integrated Internet of Things (IoT) Fog Cloud Infrastructure for Big Data Analytics and Cyber Security

Abstract

The phrase "internet of things" (IoT) is used to refer to the proliferation of non-traditional computer devices that can transmit and receive data and instructions through the internet. The spectrum of 'things' that may be considered part of the IoT is enormous: Smart versions of everyday items like refrigerators and light bulbs that connect to the internet; devices that could only prevail in an internet-enabled world, like digital assistants like Amazon's Alexa; and internet-enabled sensors that are revolutionizing production facilities, hospitals, transit systems, warehouses, and farms. For the purpose of efficiently deploying big data analytics and cyber security applications, this article presents a well-organized IoT-Fog-Cloud architecture. It also details the relationships between the three tiers of IoT, Fog, and Cloud. In addition to this, the article explores the factors that lead to security flaws, the solutions that have been implemented for these flaws, and the potential new areas of research for architectural study.
