Abstract
The field of information security and privacy is currently attracting a lot of research interest. Simultaneously, different computing paradigms from Cloud computing to Edge computing are already forming a unique ecosystem with different architectures, storage, and processing capabilities. The heterogeneity of this ecosystem comes with certain limitations, particularly security and privacy challenges. This systematic literature review aims to identify similarities, differences, main attacks, and countermeasures in the various paradigms mentioned. The main determining outcome points out the essential security and privacy threats. The presented results also outline important similarities and differences in Cloud, Edge, and Fog computing paradigms. Finally, the work identified that the heterogeneity of such an ecosystem does have issues and poses a great setback in the deployment of security and privacy mechanisms to counter security attacks and privacy leakages. Different deployment techniques were found in the review studies as ways to mitigate and enhance security and privacy shortcomings.
Highlights
The goal of having a huge capacity for storage with efficient scalability has recently been the driving force for different enterprises, organizations, and small companies when switching to Cloud, Edge, and Fog paradigms from standalone execution [1]
We looked into the different architectures, how these paradigms are characterized and how beneficial they are to the industries, and addressed some scenarios in which they are applied
The essential aim of this work was to execute a comprehensive article review on Cloud, Edge, and Fog paradigms, respectively, with a special focus on identifying similarities, differences, attacks, and countermeasures based on security and privacy aspects
Summary
The goal of having a huge capacity for storage with efficient scalability has recently been the driving force for different enterprises, organizations, and small companies when switching to Cloud, Edge, and Fog paradigms from standalone execution [1]. This shift brings numerous challenges along the way. The reason for discussing each of these paradigms is to have an overview that will guide the understanding of the research goal for this paper, which is primarily the information security and privacy aspects for each paradigm. The possibility of accessing various data and applications provided was originally made straightforward by
