5G is the next generation cellular network that aspires to achieve substantial improvement on quality of service, such as higher throughput and lower latency. Edge computing is an emerging technology that enables the evolution to 5G by bringing cloud capabilities near to the end users (or user equipment, UEs) in order to overcome the intrinsic problems of the traditional cloud, such as high latency and the lack of security. In this paper, we establish a taxonomy of edge computing in 5G, which gives an overview of existing state-of-the-art solutions of edge computing in 5G on the basis of objectives, computational platforms, attributes, 5G functions, performance measures, and roles. We also present other important aspects, including the key requirements for its successful deployment in 5G and the applications of edge computing in 5G. Then, we explore, highlight, and categorize recent advancements in edge computing for 5G. By doing so, we reveal the salient features of different edge computing paradigms for 5G. Finally, open research issues are outlined.

“…Otherwise, the adversary will track the user by collecting the user's identity information. Some interesting bilinear pairing-based and ECC-based key agreement protocols were proposed in recent years [33][34][35][36]. Irshad et al [33] presented the scheme which used bilinear pairing operations in the interaction between mobile devices and servers.…”

“…But later, the program was verified to have some security issues, such as no anonymity, no resistance to replay attacks, and no guarantee of data confidentiality. Recently, a key agreement scheme based on ECC was presented by Kaur et al [36], and they stated their scheme can overcome many kinds of attacks. Nonetheless, we strictly analyzed and found the scheme of Kaur et al proposed suffered from no resistance forgery attack and insider attack.…”

For the simplicity and feasibility, password-based authentication and key agreement scheme has gradually become a popular way to protect network security. In order to achieve mutual authentication between users and edge cloud servers during data collection, password-based key agreement scheme has attracted much attention from researchers and users. However, security and simplicity are a contradiction, which is one of the biggest difficulties in designing a password-based key agreement scheme. Aimed to provide secure and efficient key agreement schemes for data collecting in edge cloud, we propose an efficient and secure key agreement in this paper. Our proposed scheme is proved by rigorous security proof, and the proposed scheme can be protected from various attacks. By comparing with other similar password-based key agreement schemes, our proposed scheme has lower computational and communication costs and has higher security.

“…Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is another field which has evolved from cloud computing and also faces similar security threats [3]. A light weight authentication protocol using elliptical cryptography, oneway hash function and concatenation operations have been studied for MEC [4]. User authentication and anonymity has been achieved by a method called privacy preserving authentication scheme [5] using a group signature.…”

Novel Privacy Preserving Authentication Scheme Based on Physical Layer Signatures for Mobile Payments

Financial transaction through smart mobile devices is an attractive feature in today's modern wireless network era. Despite having various advantages, privacy and security are always challenging in such services. A novel hybrid security scheme based on physical layer signature and cryptography has been proposed to provide a secured authentication scheme preserving user's privacy, for the application of mobile payments. This scheme provides two levels of authentication, privacy preserving location authentication and device authentication. User's privacy is preserved by encrypting the identity of the user by physical layer encryption based on user's location. Physical layer signatures such as channel state information and carrier frequency offset are used for physical layer encryption. In conventional techniques, Media Access Control (MAC) address is used for initial authentication and they are shared without encryption. In this proposed technique, MAC is encrypted using the secret key derived from physical layer signatures using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to preserve privacy. Since secret key, generated using SVD, is location specific and varies with respect to the location, it is used for the location authentication. User authentication, required for mobile payment, is realised using asymmetric key cryptography technique. Since, physical layer security is used for privacy preserving location authentication in addition to the conventional cryptographic methods, the proposed method provides significant improvement in the security. The performance of the proposed method has been analysed in terms of information leakage to adversary, bit error rate performance, and transaction time in comparison with existing method which uses cryptography and provides only device authentication for mobile payment. The proposed technique gives better performance than existing technique in terms of privacy and authentication for mobile payment.
