Secure Edge Computing
Author: Mohiuddin Ahmed
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000427323
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
The internet is making our daily life as digital as possible and this new era is called the Internet of Everything (IoE). Edge computing is an emerging data analytics concept that addresses the challenges associated with IoE. More specifically, edge computing facilitates data analysis at the edge of the network instead of interacting with cloud-based servers. Therefore, more and more devices need to be added in remote locations without any substantial monitoring strategy. This increased connectivity and the devices used for edge computing will create more room for cyber criminals to exploit the system’s vulnerabilities. Ensuring cyber security at the edge should not be an afterthought or a huge challenge. The devices used for edge computing are not designed with traditional IT hardware protocols. There are diverse-use cases in the context of edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) in remote locations. However, the cyber security configuration and software updates are often overlooked when they are most needed to fight cyber crime and ensure data privacy. Therefore, the threat landscape in the context of edge computing becomes wider and far more challenging. There is a clear need for collaborative work throughout the entire value chain of the network. In this context, this book addresses the cyber security challenges associated with edge computing, which provides a bigger picture of the concepts, techniques, applications, and open research directions in this area. In addition, the book serves as a single source of reference for acquiring the knowledge on the technology, process and people involved in next generation computing and security. It will be a valuable aid for researchers, higher level students and professionals working in the area.

Secure and Trust Computing, Data Management, and Applications
Author: Changhoon Lee
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642223656
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two workshops held in conjunction with the 8th FIRA International Conference on Secure and Trust Computing, Data Management, and Applications, STA 2011, in Crete, Greece, in June 2011. STA 2011 is the first conference after the merger of the successful SSDU, UbiSec, and TRUST symposium series previously held from 2006 until 2010 in various locations. The 14 full papers of the IWCS 2011 and 10 papers of the STAVE 2011 workshop were carefully reviewed and individually selected from the lectures given at each workshop. The International Workshop on Convergence Security in Pervasive Environments, IWCS 2011, addresses the various theories and practical applications of convergence security in pervasive environments. The International Workshop on Security & Trust for Applications in Virtualized Environments, STAVE 2011, shows how current virtualization increases the sharing of compute, network and I/O resources with multiple users and applications in order to drive higher utilization rates, what replaces the traditional physical isolation boundaries with virtual ones.
