The book provides an exploration of how fog security is changing the information technology industry and will continue to in the next decade. The book starts with the discussion on how fog computing enables key applications in 5G, the Internet of Things, and big data. It then presents an overview of fog/edge computing, focusing on its relationship with cloud technologies and the future use of secure 5G/6G communications. The book also provides a comprehensive review of liabilities in fog/edge computing within multi-level architectures and intelligent management. It finally lands on the analysis of the applicability of fog/edge computing in smart cities, including the area of Industrial IoT, edge-based augmented reality, data streaming, and blockchain.

• The various use cases of fog/edge security and its impact on the technology industry;
• An overview of blockchain to apprehend security services in fog/edge computing;
• Promising key technologies to support5G and 6G networks, with detailed explanations of the related security and privacy issues.
