Abstract
The pervasive growth in the variety of consumer electronic devices (CEDs), as well as the Internet traffic, has evolved various security risks toward their usage. This article presents the concept of communications without a centralized server to facilitate the fastest communication between end-devices, e.g., user handheld devices, and edge devices. Three communication scenarios are presented to support authentication in the proposed architecture. To understand the concept, this article first describes the growth in the CEDs market. Afterward, the discussion on various challenges faced for incorporating security in such devices is presented along with edge-based security solutions. Finally, the article presents a use-case of the content delivery network to discuss various security solutions based on the edge with the hope that these solutions will work for future security.
