Abstract
Research regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) has spread all over the world where everything is connected to the internet to exchange, process, and collect data from day-to-day activities and environmental surroundings. Nowadays, IoT efficiently supports and enables any normal device to become “smarter,” but in the majority of cases it is not capable of hosting application services. Fog computing (FC) is introduced as a technology to overcome this limitation and also acts as a bridge to complete the gap between the IoT and remote data services bureau. Fog-enabled IoT is a new archetype that enhances the platform capability of cloud computing by allocating different services, such as enhanced security and reduced latency, and reduces bandwidth on the edge of the network. This chapter overviews the engagement of FC to unlock the potential of IoT services and also discusses the security and privacy issues of IoT. The principles of FC are discussed, highlighting different IoT domains that are related to fog computing. The community adopted research direction is also highlighted in this chapter.
