TLDR
Fog computing is designed to overcome limitations in traditional systems, the cloud, and even edge computing to handle the growing amount of data that is generated by the Internet of Things.
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) could enable innovations that enhance the quality of life, but it generates unprecedented amounts of data that are difficult for traditional systems, the cloud, and even edge computing to handle. Fog computing is designed to overcome these limitations.

Privacy-Preserving Data Aggregation with Dynamic Billing in Fog-Based Smart Grid

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a privacy-preserving data aggregation scheme that supports dynamic billing and arbitration, named PPDB, which uses fog nodes (FNs) to collect and aggregate electricity consumption data encrypted under the ElGamal cryptosystem and employ distributed decryption to achieve fine-grained access and bills generation based on real-time prices.
