Abstract
With the fast development of Internet of Things, more and more applications are deployed in this “connecting everything” network. Edge computing and cloud computing are two paradigms to implement the Internet of Things. To utilize the advantages of both these two computing forms, edge-cloud computing was proposed. In this paper, we construct a secure edge-cloud computing (SECC) framework. Sensor nodes and applications can interact with the framework through unified interfaces. We implement the edge server as a collection of services, including edge device orchestration, data processing and storage, communication management, authentication and authorization, environment sensing and situation analysis. Through a daisy-chain approach, our framework can be secured for heterogeneous security needs of different parts of the system. We also demonstrate the efficacy of the SECC framework through comprehensive analysis.
