This article describes how fog computing empowers network resource utilization by providing services to low bandwidth users in cloud environment. Here, authentication mechanisms are used by fog nodes while providing services to end users. In cloud computing there are several types of authentication mechanisms, in which token based authentication takes less time for validating password. The proposed technique uses token based authentication mechanism with honey password. The aim of this article is to focus on multi-layer token based authentication for identifying the authorized user at fog node. In authentication phase end user instantaneously frame his user account password with honey password that makes illusion to shoulder surfers password has changed. The proposed mechanism avoids and detects shoulder surfing attacks, password guessing attacks, and application denial of service attacks.</p
