Mobile edge computing

as a new 5 G-oriented technology is different from typical cloud platforms in terms of routing control

open wireless network capability and platform management. It provides distributed computing capability with low latency and intelligent energy-saving operation mode for terminals. Due to the feature of its close proximity to terminal devices

limited operating resources

access terminal equipment data and mobility of supporting devices

edge computing will not only face the security problems commonly existing in cloud computing systems

but also face some new security in infrastructure

virtualization features

data resources

interaction between devices

mobility of terminal devices

etc. This paper will analyses the security problems from the new features of edge computing which are different from general cloud platforms.
