Abstract:

Edge computing enables real-time processing of requests from massive end devices. However, the distribution and real-time characteristics of edge computing also bring more limitations to the protection of information security. Identity authentication and privacy protection are challenges for edge computing applications and data security protection. In this paper, it describes the information security requirements of the current edge computing terminal security access, analyzes the information security threats it may face, and proposes a heterogeneous terminal access authentication mechanism for the “cloud-edge-end” three-tier system in the edge computing scenario. The solution can support the access authentication request of the mass terminal, and protects the privacy of the terminal device by means of an anonymous identity.

Key words: edge computing, authentication, anonymous authentication, privacy protection
