A Survey on Security and Privacy Issues in Edge-Computing-Assisted Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative paradigm envisioned to provide massive applications that are now part our daily lives. Millions smart devices deployed within complex networks vibrant functionalities, including communications, monitoring, and controlling critical infrastructures. However, this growth IoT the corresponding huge data traffic generated at edge network created additional burdens on state-of-the-art centralized cloud computing due bandwidth resource scarcity. Hence, (EC) emerging as strategy brings processing storage near end users, leading what called EC-assisted IoT. Although provides unique features enhanced Quality Service (QoS), it also introduces risks in security privacy aspects. This article conducts a comprehensive survey issues context In particular, we first present overview IoT, definitions, applications, architecture, advantages, challenges. Second, define Then, extensively discuss major classifications attacks possible solutions countermeasures along with related research efforts. After that, further classify some discussed literature based services objectives functions. Finally, several open challenges future directions for secure provided.
