Identity Authentication Under Internet of Everything Based on Edge Computing

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet, the application of the Internet of things and big data is more and more extensive. The era of Internet of everything (IoE) has come, and the traditional cloud computing model has been unable to efficiently process the massive data generated by a large number of edge devices. Therefore, edge-type big data processing which is oriented to massive data computing generated by network edge devices—edge computing comes into being. However, due to the complexity of edge computing, data security and privacy issues become more prominent. Aiming at the security authentication of edge equipment under the Internet of everything, this paper designs an identity authentication framework under the Internet of everything based on edge computing. In the framework, multi-factor identity authentication is applied to solve the weakness of edge equipment security authentication. Moreover, the software defined network technology (SDN) is adopted to realize the global management of the deployment and application of a large number of edge equipment, which can effectively realize the effective security protection of the Internet of everything. In the end, the formalized verification of the identity authentication process of the designed framework is carried out.
