Abstract

The few resources available on devices restricted in Internet of Things are an important issue when we think about security. In this perspective, our work proposes a agile systematic review literature on works involving the Internet of Things, authentication, and Fog Computing. As a result, related works, opportunities, and challenges found at these areas' intersections were brought, supporting other researchers and developers who work in these areas.
