Review of the D2D Trusted Cooperative Mechanism in Mobile Edge Computing

Abstract

Mobile edge computing (MEC) effectively integrates wireless network and Internet technologies and adds computing, storage, and processing functions to the edge of cellular networks. This new network architecture model can deliver services directly from the cloud to the very edge of the network while providing the best efficiency in mobile networks. However, due to the dynamic, open, and collaborative nature of MEC network environments, network security issues have become increasingly complex. Devices cannot easily ensure obtaining satisfactory and safe services because of the numerous, dynamic, and collaborative character of MEC devices and the lack of trust between devices. The trusted cooperative mechanism can help solve this problem. In this paper, we analyze the MEC network structure and device-to-device (D2D) trusted cooperative mechanism and their challenging issues and then discuss and compare different ways to establish the D2D trusted cooperative relationship in MEC, such as social trust, reputation, authentication techniques, and intrusion detection. All these ways focus on enhancing the efficiency, stability, and security of MEC services in presenting trustworthy services.

A Survey on Security and Privacy Challenges in Device Discovery for Next-Generation Systems

“…The result show that D2D depend on the 5G network resources to guarantee the required capacity, high reliability, low latency, throughput, resiliency, and security in sending and receiving data among devices. A review of the D2D reliable cooperative method in mobile system is summarized in [120]. In this paper, mobile network structure and D2D reliable cooperative structure and their challenging questions and then discourse and compare distinct behaviors to launch the D2D reliable cooperative affiliation in mobile network.…”

Multiattribute Evaluation Model Based on the KSP Algorithm for Edge Computing

“…The edge layer contains a large number of high-frequency interactive devices, and the number of nodes and trust information is growing exponentially. While edge layer devices are mostly resource-constrained devices, massive trust information easily leads to information overload, causing node overload and early decline [12], [13]. A trusted and lightweight distributed trust evaluation mechanism is urgently needed.…”
