Abstract
With the increasing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the centralized and conventional architecture of cloud computing has become a bottleneck because of its limited bandwidth and resources. Therefore, edge computing has become an emerging technology nowadays that enables data processing and storing at the edge of networks. Instead of having some unique features (distributed architecture, parallel processing, mobility support, location awareness, proximity, and low latency) privacy and security have become an open concern for edge computing. This paper presents a comprehensive review in terms of the characteristics, architecture, and applications of edge computing. Also, some of the most recent security threats, mechanisms for avoiding these threats are highlighted with proper detail. Finally, we conclude our review analyzing some open issues and challenges in the field of edge computing.
