Confident Security Relation for Edge Computing-based loT Applications

Smart city, health care, agriculture etc applications under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (loT) which they present a new technology with a millions of devices connected together. In the End, all loT devices are connected to cloud computing which the process of the data flow. However, loT applications generate a huge data flow which present a major problem with the system performance. In fact, edge computing is proposed as solution to solve the problem of data flow processing. Moreover, edge computing is the first line of the data processing mostly for the particular applications such as smart city which the huge number of the loT devices. The edge computing resources are limited performance compared to the cloud computing. This nature of the edge computing presents a major problem for the security issues in the loT applications. In fact, this paper proposes a novel security system to secure the relation between the loT devices and edge computing. Further, Confident Security Relation (CSR) suggests four levels which each one proposes recommendation about the security protocol applied. CSR is lined with the different requirements requested by loT application to improve the real time data processing.
