Abstract
Decentralized character, solid database, security features, and, to a significant part, anonymity, block chain provides a novel method for the storing, exchange, and preservation of private data. This is one of the reasons why it has become so popular. This research combines the benefits of blockchain technology and edge computing by developing core technological solutions for edge computing that are based on block chain. In addition to this, it makes use of the Parlier cryptosystem, which is what enables additive homomorphism to function. This is done to guarantee that the block chain operates as effectively as possible and to reduce the amount of computational strain that is placed on the client. The edge node is able to process the data it has received in cypher text, extract the outcome, and then deliver it to the client in cypher text. All of the data is encrypted on the side where the task is being performed. The results of the experiment with the computer simulation demonstrate that the method that was presented is practical and effective. The term “edge computing” today refers to a network of different computer resources that are all linked to one another via a broad variety of communication mechanisms. The operation of the energy grid is dependent on distributed energy systems that are connected to the edge of the internet. Assume that every edge device is a client-owned distributed energy resource (DER) that is securely linked to a grid service provider. On the internet, information is safeguarded by SSL standards, but confidence must always be earned. In order to demonstrate how a model for representing and evaluating trust in a more comprehensive sense might be put into effect, the key example that is used in this study is the energy grid. Actors at the edge of the network may engage with one another in addition to interacting with the datacentre in the centre of the network.
