It follows a client-server architecture, where a person or organization (the client) can encrypt data or workloads locally using their own private keys and deploy the encrypted data or workloads to the Fog (the server) without sharing their keys.

“The data in our cloud will never be exposed—it’s always encrypted,” says John Barrus, vice president of product at Niobium. “It’s a new category of cloud.” ..."
