Typically, the analysis of the industrial big data is done at the cloud. If the technology of IIoT is relying on cloud, data from the billions of internet-connected devices are voluminous and demand to be processed within the cloud DCs. Most of the IoT infrastructures—smart driving and car parking systems, smart vehicular traffic management systems, and smart grids—are observed to demand low-latency, real-time services from the service providers. Since cloud includes data storage, processing, and computation only within DCs, huge data traffic generated from the IoT devices probably experience a network bottleneck, high service latency, and poor quality of service (QoS). Hence, the placement of an intermediary node that can perform tasks efficiently and effectively is an unavoidable requirement of IIoT. Fog can be such an intermediary node because of its ability and location to perform tasks at the premise of an industry in a timely manner. This chapter discusses challenges, need, and framework of fog computing, security issues, and solutions of fog computing for IIoT.

The emerging trends in fog computing have increased the interests and focus in both industry and academia. Fog computing extends cloud computing facilities like the storage, networking, and computation towards the edge of networks wherein it offloads the cloud data centres and reduces the latency of providing services to the users. This paradigm is like cloud in terms of data, storage, application, and computation services, except with a fundamental difference: it is decentralized. Furthermore, these fog systems can process huge amounts of data locally and can be installed on hardware of different types. These characteristics make fog suitable for time- and location-based applications like internet of things (IoT) devices which can process large amounts of data. In this chapter, the authors present fog data streaming, its architecture, and various applications.

The Cloud computing services and security issues are growing exponentially with time. All the CSPs provide utmost security but the issues still exist. Number of technologies and methods are emerged and futile day by day. In order to overcome this situation, we have also proposed a data storage security system using a binary tree approach. Entire services of the binary tree are provided by a Trusted Third Party (TTP) .TTP is a government or reputed organization which facilitates to protect user data from unauthorized access and disclosure. The security services are designed and implemented by the TTP and are executed at the user side. Data classification, Data Encryption and Data Storage are the three vital stages of the security services. An automated file classifier classify unorganized files into four different categories such as Sensitive, Private, Protected and Public. Applied cryptographic techniques are used for data encryption. File splitting and multiple cloud storage techniques are used for data outsourcing which reduces security risks considerably. This technique offers  file protection even when the CSPs compromise.

The main goal of any data storage model on the cloud is accessing data in an easy way without risking its security. A security consideration is a major aspect in any cloud data storage model to provide safety and efficiency. In this paper, we propose a secure data protection model over the cloud. The proposed model presents a solution to some security issues of cloud such as data protection from any violations and protection from a fake authorized identity user, which adversely affects the security of the cloud. This paper includes multiple issues and challenges with cloud computing that impairs security and privacy of data. It presents the threats and attacks that affect data residing in the cloud. Our proposed model provides the benefits and effectiveness of security in cloud computing such as enhancement of the encryption of data in the cloud. It provides security and scalability of data sharing for users on the cloud computing. Our model achieves the security functions over cloud computing such as identification and authentication, authorization, and encryption. Also, this model protects the system from any fake data owner who enters malicious information that may destroy the main goal of cloud services. We develop the one-time password (OTP) as a logging technique and uploading technique to protect users and data owners from any fake unauthorized access to the cloud. We implement our model using a simulation of the model called Next Generation Secure Cloud Server (NG-Cloud). These results increase the security protection techniques for end user and data owner from fake user and fake data owner in the cloud.

Communication between devices has transitioned from wired to unwired. Wireless networks have been in use widely around the globe since the advent of smartphones, IoT devices and other technologies that are compatible with wireless mode of communication. At the same time security issues have also increased in such communication methods. The aim of this paper is to propose security and privacy issues of the wireless networks and present them through comprehensive surveys. In context of security issues, there are 2 typical DDoS attacks - HTTP flood and SYN flood. Other than DDoS attacks, there are several other threats to wireless networks. One of the most prevalent include security issues in Internet of Things. In terms of privacy issues in a wireless network, location-based applications, individual data, cellular network and V2G (Vehicle to Grid) network are surveyed. The survey is hosted using questionnaire and responses of 70 participants is recorded. It is observed from the survey results that many groups of people lack the knowledge of security and privacy of wireless technologies and networks despite their increased use, however, students are relatively more aware and have strong knowledge of those issues. It is concluded from the results that an effective solution to these problems can be hosting campaigns for spreading the security and privacy laws to help the groups of people who are lagging behind in this domain of knowledge become more aware. A unique solution is also presented to overcome the security issues which include implementation of detection and mitigation techniques, implementing Blockchain in the IoT devices and implementing fog computing solutions. The unique solutions to overcome the privacy issues are proposed in the form of a privacy approach from the LBS server between pairs of users to increase the implementation of DSPM and blockchain as a solution.

IoT requires data processing, which is provided by the cloud and fog computing. Fog computing shifts centralized data processing from the cloud data center to the edge, thereby supporting faster response due to reduced communication latencies. Its distributed architecture raises security and privacy issues; some are inherited from the cloud, IoT, and network whereas others are unique. Securing fog computing is equally important as securing cloud computing and IoT infrastructure. Security solutions used for cloud computing and IoT are similar but are not directly applicable in fog scenarios. Machine learning techniques are useful in security such as anomaly detection, intrusion detection, etc. So, to provide a systematic study, the chapter will cover fog computing architecture, parallel technologies, security requirements attacks, and security solutions with a special focus on machine learning techniques.
