Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the architecture and security challenges of cloud and mobile edge computing in the context of 5G and future networks. It first established the need for both technologies in meeting the performance demands of future computing and networking. It then went on to present the architectural framework and deployment models of both technologies together with their evolutionary trends. Different use cases and scenarios relevant to 5G and future networks were analyzed as well as the associated security and privacy threats. The chapter further proffers some key mitigation techniques against the various identified threats and concludes with a brief description of the ongoing works by various 5G MEC and Cloud Security Research and Standardizations organizations around the world.
