What are the pros and cons of fog computing?

The pros of fog computing include that it offers more privacy and has a lower bandwidth
requirement since data is processed locally. Its cons include being too complex, making it
difficult to understand or develop trust and authentication. Both fog and cloud computing
systems have plenty of similarities.
