Abstract: Cloud is basically a clusters of multiple dedicated servers attached within a network .Cloud Computing is a network based environment that focuses on sharing computations or resources. In cloud customers only pay for what they use and have not to pay for local resources which they need such as storage or infrastructure. so this is the main advantage of cloud computing and main reason for gaining popularity in todays world .Also cloud computing is one of the most exciting technology due to its ability to reduce cost associated with computing while increasing flexibility and scalability for computer processes .But in cloud the main problem that occurs is security .And now a days security and privacy both are main concern that needed to be considered. To overcome the problem of security we are introducing the new technique which is called as Fog Computing .Fog Computing is not a replacement of cloud it is just extends the cloud computing by providing security in the cloud environment. With Fog services we are able to enhance the cloud experience by isolating users data that need to live on the edge. The main aim of fog computing is to place the data close to the end user

Keywords: Cloud, Cloud Computing, Decoys, Fog Computing.
