Implementing zero trust security with dual fuzzy methodology for trust-aware authentication and task offloading in Multi-access Edge Computing

Open access

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient trust-aware authentication and task offloading scheme for Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) using the Zero Trust Security (ZTS) principles. The proposed method uses a dual fuzzy logic system to evaluate the trustworthiness of edge servers. Devices connected to the edge servers are authenticated using identity, biometrics and Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) measures. After authentication, tasks can be offloaded from the devices to the most trustworthy edge server. The proposed scheme also considers the resource constraints of the edge servers and aims to minimise the overall task completion time. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes regarding authentication accuracy, task completion time, and energy consumption.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
