The Extended Cloud: Review and Analysis of Mobile Edge Computing and Fog From a Security and Resilience Perspective
Open accessAbstract
Mobile edge computing (MEC) and fog are emerging computing models that extend the cloud and its services to the edge of the network. The emergence of both MEC and fog introduce new requirements, which mean their supported deployment models must be investigated. In this paper, we point out the influence and strong impact of the extended cloud (i.e., the MEC and fog) on existing communication and networking service models of the cloud. Although the relation between them is fairly evident, there are important properties, notably those of security and resilience, that we study in relation to the newly posed requirements from the MEC and fog. Although security and resilience have been already investigated in the context of the cloud-to a certain extent-existing solutions may not be applicable in the context of the extended cloud. Our approach includes the examination of models and architectures that underpin the extended cloud, and we provide a contemporary discussion on the most evident characteristics associated with them. We examine the technologies that implement these models and architectures, and analyze them with respect to security and resilience requirements. Furthermore, approaches to security and resilience-related mechanisms are examined in the cloud (specifically, anomaly detection and policy-based resilience management), and we argue that these can also be applied in order to improve security and achieve resilience in the extended cloud environment.

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.
