CAAVI-RICS Model for Analyzing the Security of Fog Computing Systems

The ubiquitous connectivity of “things” in the Internet of Things, and fog computing systems, presents a stimulating setting for innovation and business opportunity, but also an immense set of security threats and challenges. Security engineering for such systems must take into consideration the peculiar conditions under which these systems operate: low resource constraints, decentralized decision making, large device churn, etc. Thus, techniques and methodologies of building secure and robust IoT/fog systems have to support these conditions.
