Fog Computing based Trust Solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) : A Systematic Literature Review

Scientific research is performed based on real life problems. Reproducibility of research result is one of the curtail criteria for any scientific research. Proper documentation about research methodology allows fellow researcher to reproduce the results and to further extend of the research findings. Fog computing-based solution enhances quality of IoT solutions by making a bridge between cloud layer and end devices of IoT paradigm. Also fog computing can also increase security and trust in IoT by processing data at the fog layer which is closer to the source of data where it is produced. But fog computing-based trust solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) is a new trend. Fog computing can be considered as engineering discipline. IoT itself covers many aspects of human life; we can call IoT as a social science research area. In this paper, authors have discussed about different scientific research approaches used in fog computing based trust management in IoT researches
