Abstract

Ensuring data trustworthiness within individual edge nodes while facilitating collaborative data processing poses a critical challenge in edge computing systems (ECS), particularly in resource-constrained scenarios such as autonomous systems sensor networks, industrial IoT, and smart cities. This paper presents a lightweight, fully distributed k-means clustering algorithm specifically adapted for edge environments, leveraging a distributed averaging approach with additive secret sharing, a secure multiparty computation technique, during the cluster center update phase to ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of data across nodes.
