# OpenFog Consortium > *To drive industry and academic leadership in fog computing & networking architecture, testbed development, and interoperability and composability deliverables that seamlessly bridge the cloud-to-things continuum.* [Homepage](https://www.openfogconsortium.org/) * [Paper OpenFog Security Requirements and Approaches](http://arsalanmosenia.com/papers/Openfog_preprint.pdf) * [OpenFog Reference Architecture](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G7nePAsU-c\&feature=youtu.be) * In-Depth Use Cases * Open Architecture * Provide a robust new platform for product development * Incrase quality and innovation through competition in the open environment * Lead to a vibrant, growing supplier ecosystem * Accelerate market adoption * Lower system costs **Fog As A Service** > *The OpenFog RA defines the required infrastructure to enable building Fog as a Service (FaaS) to address certain classes of business challenges. FaaS includes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and many service constructs specific to fog. Infrastructure and architecture building blocks show how FaaS may be enabled. This topic is expanded upon in the reference architecture.* --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
