Title
Panoptic, Privacy over Edge-Clouds
Abstract
The increasing capabilities of smartphones is paving way to novel applications through the crowd-sourcing of these untapped resources, to form hyperlocal meshes commonly known as edge-clouds. While a relevant body-of-work is already available for the underlying networking, computing and storage facilities, security and privacy remain second class citizens. In this paper we present Panoptic, an edge-cloud system that enables the search for missing people, similar to the commonly known Amber alert system, in high density scenarios where wireless infrastructure might be limited (WiFi and LTE), e.g. concerts, while featuring privacy and security by design. Since the limited resources present in the mobile devices, namely battery capacity, Panoptic offers a computing offloading that tries to minimize data leakage while offering acceptable levels of performance. Our results show that it is achievable to run these algorithms in an edge-cloud configuration and that it is beneficial to use this architecture to lower data transfer through the wireless infrastructure while enforcing privacy. Results from our experimental evaluation show that the security layer does not impose a significant overhead, and only accounts for 2% of the total execution time for an edge cloud comprised by, but not limited to, 8 devices.
