Edge Computing for Secure Smart Cities
In 2024, IoT edge computing emerged as a backbone for secure and efficient smart city implementations. This research explores how local data processing enhances cyber resilience, reduces latency, and enables real-time decision-making in urban monitoring systems.
Core Concepts
By processing data at the network edge rather than centralized cloud systems, IoT edge architectures minimize data exposure to external threats while improving response times in critical urban applications.
Security Frameworks
On-Site Analytics
Decentralized data processing ensures sensitive urban management data never leaves local infrastructure, limiting potential breaches.
Zero-Trust Models
IoT edge nodes in 2024 employ continuous authentication methods to verify device identity and data integrity across all city systems.
2024 Implementation
- Edge AI gateways for real-time surveillance analytics
- Self-healing mesh networks between city sensors
- Federated learning for privacy-protected citizen data
