Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to investigate methods for preservation, protection and utilization of computational resources in edge computing environment. In this research, we presented the following three main results: 1) Detailed taxonomy on authentication and authorization of edge resources, 2) application of generalized deduplication for multi-user edge environment, and 3) theoretical analysis of private information retrieval for multi-edge environment. Additionally, we also presented preliminary proposal of anonymized DNS with collusion resistance. Corresponding to these topics, we presented one full-paper on a journal, two papers at international conferences, and four papers at domestic conferences.
