Abstract: Fog computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm to overcome a number of challenges faced by the cloud computing. It has extended the cloud computing standards to the edge of the network, facilitating the new type of services and applications for the future of internet. However, fog computing faces a number of challenges associated with security and privacy. Some of them may be related to the inheritance of this technology from cloud computing. In the present work, security and privacy issues associated with the fog computing environment have been presented from a multi-dimensional perspective. Security and privacy perspective has been drawn from the characteristics, applications and associated technologies of fog computing. Challenges and limitations associated with the security and privacy have also been presented from the perspective of futuristic applications. The work is very much useful considering the increasing expansion of fog computing applications.
