Resilient and Secure Edge Computing for Untrusted Distributed Systems

边缘计算是一种新兴的范式，在国防和任务关键型应用程序中，数十亿轻量级设备收集关键信息并与远程数据服务交互，具有增强性能的巨大前景。然而，边缘的安全仍然是一个巨大的挑战，这主要是因为现场有大量高度多样化的设备。该项目解决了这些安全挑战，并通过开发信任建立方法、使用网络切片的可信覆盖网络和整体弹性工作负载调度来提高此类不可信分布式系统的弹性。这些成果将使科学界和工业界受益，并标志着澳大利亚科学家成为网络安全领域的先驱。

Edge Computing is an emerging paradigm with a great promise for performance enhancement for defence and mission critical applications where billions of lightweight devices collecting critical information and interacting with remote data services. However, security at the edge remains a huge challenge, primarily due to highly diverse large number of devices in the field. This project solves these security challenges and improves resiliency of such untrusted distributed systems by developing trust establishment methods, trusted overlay networks with network slicing, and holistic resilient workload scheduling. These outcomes will benefit both the scientific and industry communities, and mark Australian scientists as pioneers in Cybersecurity.
