Secure Fog-Cloud of Things Architectures, Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

The paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged due to recent advances in computer hardware, software, embedded computing technologies, and communication together with reduced costs and a drastic improvement in the performance of interacting devices. IoT has become a formal means of connecting people, things, and information systems to the Internet through cyber-physical devices. This has resulted in a new breed of systems that allow real-world solutions to be implemented across countless Internet infrastructures and services such as cities, health, and agriculture
