Extension of Resource Authorization Method with SSI in Edge Computing

The authors have previously confirmed that the flow of OAuth, a traditional authorization method on the Internet, can be managed appropriately by applying it to allocating computational resources in edge computing. In addition, in recent years, the concept of self-sovereign identity (SSI), which respects the rights of individuals, and technologies for this purpose have been studied in examining digital identities responsible for authentication and authorization. In this paper, we report on a study of the suitability and security of introducing the concept of SSI as an extension of resource authorization for edge computing.
