Privacy-Preserving Techniques in Cloud/Fog and Internet of Things

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, wireless networks have been developed using cloud infrastructure and software-based networks. Their connections to the new generation Internet and the Internet of Things have reduced costs and improved reliability. It is critical for people, factories, vehicles, road and transportation environments, and much more to use IoT sensors and devices for daily tasks in these vast and complex networks. It is also important to leverage privacy-preservation patterns in large networks such as BigData, software-based networks. Several supporting technologies for IoT are Cloud Computing and Fog Computing. However, the possibility of privacy breaches in these three technologies is high. The main purpose of this leading series is to present and compile articles about this topic that can help us.
