A framework for efficient and secured mobility of IoT devices in mobile edge computing

摘要

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides an efficient solution for IoT as it brings the cloud services close to the IoT device. This works well for IoT devices with limited mobility. IoT devices that are mobile by nature introduce a set of challenges to the MEC model. Challenges include security and efficiency aspects. Achieving mutual authentication of IoT device with the cloud edge provider is essential to protect from many security threats. Also, the efficiency of data transmission when connecting to a new cloud edge provider requires efficient data mobility among MEC providers or MEC centers. This research paper proposes a new framework that offers a secure and efficient MEC for IoT applications with mobile devices.
