    This book reviews research works in recent trends in blockchain, AI, and Digital Twin based IoT data analytics approaches for providing the privacy and security solutions for Fog-enabled IoT networks. Due to the large number of deployments of IoT devices, an IoT is the main source of data and a very high volume of sensing data is generated by IoT systems such as smart cities and smart grid applications. To provide a fast and efficient data analytics solution for Fog-enabled IoT systems is a fundamental research issue. For the deployment of the Fog-enabled-IoT system in different applications such as healthcare systems, smart cities and smart grid systems, security, and privacy of big IoT data and IoT networks are key issues. The current centralized IoT architecture is heavily restricted with various challenges such as single points of failure, data privacy, security, robustness, etc.

    This book emphasizes and facilitates a greater understanding of various security and privacy approaches using the advances in Digital Twin and Blockchain for data analysis using machine/deep learning, federated learning, edge computing and the countermeasures to overcome these vulnerabilities.
