Wireless sensor networks (WSN's) are becoming increasingly popular in the current Era. WSN and Smart Devices are key enablers for the Internet of things (IoT) and Fog Computing based applications and it brings IoT applications with enhanced capabilities for sensing and actuation. IOT is a very growing area and having wide scope for research. Integration of WSNs into IoT is today's need. Adoptions to cloud computing, increasing use of automation of tools, Integration of internet into most activities of human had reached to the stage where Internet of Things based applications are becoming more popular today. Many new applications are now being developed in the field of IoT. The broad areas of application are Home automation, Smart cities, Retail, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Habitat Monitoring, Security and Surveillance etc. With this wide scope the applications are prone to many security threats. Providing Security for IoT and Fog computing-based applications is a Research Challenge. This paper tries to discuss with the common security attacks, Reasons, their counter measures and research directions. We are also proposing a Trust based Security model for implementing application layer level security in IoT and fog.

“…Prototype of Fog-assisted and IoT-based health-care system architecture from end users have to be encrypted before outsourcing it to the Fog node [32]. There are various privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., differential privacy, homomorphic encryption) that can be applied between the Fog and the Cloud to preserve data privacy [1]. Among data privacy, usage privacy, and location privacy are also important challenges that must be considered and accomplished.…”

Abstract:INowhere do the technology advancements bring improvements than in the healthcare sector, constantly creating new healthcare applications and systems which completely revolutionize the healthcare domain. The appearance of Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare systems has immensely improved quality and delivery of care, and signi icantly reduced the costs. At the same time, these systems generate the enormous amount of health-associated data which has to be properly gathered, analyzed and shared. The smart devices, as the components of IoT-driven healthcare systems, are not able to deal with IoT-produced data, neither data posting to the Cloud is the appropriate solution. To overcome smart devices' and Cloud's limitations the new paradigm, known as Fog computing, has appeared, where an additional layer processes the data and sends the results to the Cloud. Despite numerous bene its Fog computing brings into IoT-based environments, the privacy and security issues remain the main challenge for its implementation. The reasons for integrating the IoT-based healthcare system and Fog computing, bene its and challenges, as well as the proposition of simple low-cost system are presented in this paper.
