Summary:Edge computing has emerged as a transformative paradigm with applications ranging from IoT to smart homes and transportation systems. However, its decentralized nature presents significant challenges in securing sensitive data, particularly in scenarios involving data sharing. To address these issues, this paper introduces a secure data access control system for edge computing by leveraging blockchain to foster mutual trust among edge servers and employing attribute-based encryption for secure data sharing. Our proposed solution seeks to enhance data security in distributed environments. We validate our method through practical experiments conducted on multiple edge servers, confirming its effectiveness in safeguarding data integrity and privacy.
