Security Provisions in Smart Edge Computing Devices using Blockchain and Machine Learning Algorithms: A Novel Approach

Abstract

The security provisions for capricious data in a dynamic environment must be fathomed by prudence. It is strenuous to manage gigantic data in an ossified environment through one server. The authors have put their concern on the security risk on the susceptible data in a Mobile Edge distributed environment. Thus, edge computing turns out to be an excellent perspective in which the training can be done at the Edge-based environment. The amalgamation of Edge computing and Blockchain in association with machine learning techniques can foster data security, mitigate the risk of exposed data, and further alleviate the risk of a data breach. Thus, the concept of federated learning provides an itinerary for training the shared data. The dataset containing several vulnerable, exposed, recovered, and secured data were collected. And the security of data was precepted under the surveillance of two-factor authentication. This paper discusses the metamorphism of data and security breaches existing in smart edge computing devices. The proposed model consists of the implication of data security using Blockchain and machine learning techniques comprising several classifiers and optimization techniques. They further effectuated the algorithm in an edge computing-based environment by apportioning several batches of data amongst different clients. Subsequently, the authors-maintained privacy for the clients using Blockchain servers. They segregated the data from the clients into batches trained using the federated learning technique. The aftermaths procured in this paper proclaim the implementation of a Blockchain-based training model in the edge-based ecosystem.
