Enhancing Security in Edge Computing with RSA and Paillier Encryption Scheme

Edge Computing (EC) is a form of computing that utilizes the unique capabilities of devices and networks that are beyond traditional desktops, laptops, or mobile devices. As a result, edge devices are more powerful and more versatile than traditional devices, which enables them to handle more complex tasks and applications. The EC can enhance the performance and reliability of digital products and services while lowering costs. The EC has many advantages, but it also has a number of risks associated with it. This paper reviews previous studies in order to identify concerns regarding security with EC, also, we present the results of our approach for securing edge computing using two partial homomorphic encryption schemes, namely Paillier and RSA. Our research specifically evaluates the performance of our approach by measuring the encryption time, operation sum (Paillier), or multiplication (RSA) on encrypted values, and decryption time.
