Abstract: Decentralised fog computing can provide real-time interaction, minimize latency, heterogeneity, and provide networking services between edge devices and cloud data centers. One of the biggest challenges in the fog layer network is finding a trustworthy fog node. Trust management encompasses the process of being trustworthy and the act of assessing the reliability of other nodes. It is essential to carry out a comprehensive review using a systematic approach in this field to advance our understanding, address emerging challenges, and foster secure and efficient trust management practices. This research paper considers a comprehensive analysis of high-quality fog computing trust management literature from 2018 to 2022. A variety of distinct approaches have been chosen by fog computing-based trust management and these techniques are classified into three categories: algorithms, challenges, and limitations. Further, it reviews the various trust attacks in fog environments, details the solutions proposed in the current literature, and concludes with a discussion of the open challenges and potential future research directions in fog computing.
