“…We also looked into studies that propose solutions for application relocation, and most of these focus on VM migration, for example [25] and [26]. On the other hand, recent papers also provides transparent, low-latency solutions for authentication and mobility within a single edge network [11], [27][28], anonymous mutual authentication in MEC platforms [29], and third-party authentication between cloud and edge [30]. Some work has also been done on the deployment of a secure MEC system in a cellular network that can itself provide authentication for its applications [10].…”

Multi-Access or Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is being deployed by 4G/5G operators to provide computational services at lower latencies. Federating MECs across operators expands capability, capacity, and coverage but gives rise to two issues for continuous service during roaming without re-authentication-third-party authentication and application mobility. In this work, we propose a Federated State transfer and 3rd-party Authentication (FS3A) mechanism that uses a transparent proxy to transfer the information of both authentication and application state across operators to resolve these issues. The FS3A proxy is kept transparent with virtual counterparts to avoid any changes to existing MEC and cellular architectures. FS3A provides users with a token which, when authenticated by an MEC, can be reused across operators for faster authentication. Prefetching of subscription and state is also proposed to further reduce authentication and application mobility latencies. We evaluated FS3A on an OpenAirInterface (OAI)-based testbed and the results show that token reuse and subscription prefetching reduce the authentication latency by 53-65%, compared to complete re-authentication, while state prefetching reduces application mobility latency by 51-91%, compared to no prefetching. Overall, FS3A reduces the service interruption time by 33%, compared to no token reuse and prefetching.INDEX TERMS Mobile edge computing, multi-access edge computing, authentication, mobility, latency, 3GPP cellular networks.

This paper aims to deeply analyze the relevant concepts of the third-party responsibility for environmental pollution control of enterprises and further clarify the legal responsibility and responsibility distribution of the third-party environmental pollution control. Through the analysis of enterprise environmental pollution sample data, this paper finds that the judicial application of enterprise environmental pollution crime in China mainly includes the number of cases increases year by year and the subjects of enterprise environmental pollution crime are relatively concentrated. The results show that the joint crime accounts for about 40%, and unit crime cases account for about 10%, while the amount of fines for natural persons in the existing laws is mostly less than 50,000 yuan, which is relatively low. Finally, it is concluded that the criminal punishment of enterprise environmental pollution is relatively light, especially in the accountability of the criminal subject. Therefore, this paper focuses on the division of legal liability from three aspects: civil liability, administrative liability, and criminal liability.

“…Santos [13] and FogBus [14] use Representational State Transfer (REST) procedures in HTTP to share information between two platforms to transfer application information. [15] provides a token-based solution to these issues strictly within the MECs deployed by a single 3GPP cellular network (Intra-MNO MEC environment) and another study [16] proposes a transparent proxy that solves the thirdparty authentication issue in a federated 3GPP cellular edge and cloud environment. To the best of our knowledge, this ours the first study that addresses the two key issues in service resumption for mobile users switching from a 3GPP MEC network to a fog network.…”

Multi-Access Edge computing (MEC) and Fog computing provide services to subscribers at low latency. There is a need to form a federation among 3GPP MEC and fog to provide better coverage to 3GPP subscribers. This federation gives rise to two issues-third-party authentication and application mobility-for continuous service during handover from 3GPP MEC to fog without re-authentication. In this paper, we propose: 1) a proxy-based state transfer and third-party authentication (PS3A) that uses a transparent proxy to transfer the authentication and application state information, and 2) a token-based state transfer and proxy-based third-party authentication (TSP3A) that uses the proxy to transfer the authentication information and tokens to transfer the application state from 3GPP MEC to the fog. The proxy is kept transparent with virtual counterparts, to avoid any changes to the existing 3GPP MEC and fog architectures. We implemented these solutions on a testbed and results show that PS3A and TSP3A provide authentication within 0.345-2.858s for a 0-100 Mbps proxy load. The results further show that TSP3A provides application mobility while taking 40-52% less time than PS3A using state tokens. TSP3A and PS3A also reduce the service interruption latency by 82.4% and 84.6%, compared to the cloudbased service via tokens and prefetching.
