Trust Assessment for Internet of Things in Multi-access Edge Computing

Abstract

Multi-access Edge Computing nowadays attracts much attention from researchers. It aims to provide end users with better performance via using mobile telecommunication infrastructure and techniques. Internet of Things (IoT) can connect a large number of things through communication networks for various types of applications. Through multiple-access edge cloud computing platforms, IoT can be connected to one of the nearby micro-clouds and then it can communicate with other devices, computers or cloud resources. Security is still a big challenge for this type of applications. In this paper, we proposed and applied a trust management framework which can assess trust for applications and computing resources. Moreover, the framework can help vendors to dynamically configure resources based on the real-time trust information.
