Abstract

Edge AI, through the requirement of real-time processing of data closer to the source, brings unique challenges in security and privacy due to its decentralized architecture and deployment in uncontrolled environments. This chapter explores various threats and vulnerabilities in edge devices, including physical tampering, adversarial attacks, model poisoning, and insecure communication protocols. It underlines the risks related to resource constraints, outdated software, and regulatory compliance necessities like GDPR and HIPAA. Advanced threats, including malware, DDoS, and side-channel attacks, are analyzed with a focus on implications for data integrity and system reliability. The emerging solutions discussed include federated learning, homomorphic encryption, and blockchain as mechanisms to mitigate these risks. This chapter looks at best practices, including the use of strong encryption, AI-driven threat detection, and zero-trust architectures, to improve the security and privacy of edge systems. By using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to ...
