Secure edge computing: An architectural approach and industrial use case

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) perceived as the connection among heterogeneous thing or devices and end users anticipate for the rapid response or connection via their devices connected to the internet. This expectation of the users from the IoT, gave rise to many challenges (scalability, security, low end to end latency, etc.) and which motivated us to propose a novel architecture for the security of internet of smart edge computing. Edge computing is transforming the way of communication and proposed scheme will leverage it. The main trait of novel approach is the convergence of numerous technologies via exploiting communication between control gateways and sensor nodes/objects/things by intelligent computation and security. A use case from the industrial perspective implies its justification.
