Multi-Access Edge Computing Architecture, Data Security and Privacy: A Review

Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) is an extension of cloud computing that aims to provide computation, storage, and networking capabilities at the edge network in close proximity end-users. The MEC architecture supports applications services bridge between includes devices systems are interconnected, layered, flexibly deployed. As a result technological advancements, facing myriad highly sophisticated threats. This paper provides review Architecture, use cases, conceptual guidelines for security architecture, privacy techniques, identifies current future challenges, their implications, approaches overcome challenges. research examined significant threats, described identified susceptible functional layers, different categories potential safeguards. recommends providers should implement multiple layers controls mitigate targeted attacks.
