What is FOG Computing?
FOG computing/ fogging/ FOG networking refers to a decentralized computing network where data, storage, and applications are situated somewhere between the data source and the cloud. It expands the cloud computing concept to the network edge, making it perfect for IoT and other applications that demand live interactions.
Decentralization and flexibility are the two major advantages of FOG computing over cloud computing. The flexible infrastructure allows the users to place their resources such as applications, data, etc. in logical locations for enhanced performance.
Challenges Faced by FOG Computing
Though FOG computing possesses great advantages, it has been encountering a number of issues, some of which are listed below:
- Trust and Authentication Issues: The flexibility of FOG computing complicates the entire structure as well as the trust situation. When an individual connects to the rouge fog node, it is capable of manipulating the signals coming from the user to the cloud and is capable of launching attacks.
- Privacy: A large number of FOG nodes are accessible to the end-users. Due to this, sensitive information transfers from end-users to the FOG nodes.
- Energy Consumption: There is a high level of energy consumption in FOG computing because there is a large number of nodes in the FOG environment which requires a great amount of energy to operate.
Blockchain and FOG Computing
Blockchain technology can prove to be an effective solution for the problems related to the Internet of Things and FOG computing.
FOG computing and Blockchain are an ideal match. FOG computing features demand trusted transactions in the cases where a system needs to function while disconnected from the cloud. Being a significant part of IoT, FOG computing requires distributed ledger technology in order to establish consensus for every transaction.
The integration of blockchain and FOG computing capitalizes on the decentralized structure of blockchain technology. A huge number of devices can be included in the blockchain environment with the aid of FOG computing. This will result in the enhanced productivity of businesses along with a reduction in operating costs. Blockchain technology will ensure the provision of necessary privacy features and will enable the fog nodes to execute the authorization process in a distributed manner.
The combination of blockchain technology, FOG computing, and the Internet of Things maximizes the benefits of these technologies. Secure mechanisms for acquiring secure storage in FOG computing are provided with the aid of blockchain.
Blockchain provides a perfect mechanism for securing data transmitted among entities on a distributed infrastructure. It implements a digital fingerprint for data, which remains on the data as long as the data exists.
Benefits of Blockchain in FOG Computing
- Enable the devices to recognize and isolate the devices and applications infected with malware.
- Secure mechanisms for attaining secure storage.
- Secure and trusted transmission
- Tamper-proof
- Enhanced reliability
- Minimized latency
