Abstract :

The review paper explores the evolving landscape of security challenges and solutions in the realm of adaptive video streaming at the edge. As the demand for high-quality video content continues to surge, the decentralized nature of edge computing introduces unique security considerations. The paper comprehensively examines the vulnerabilities associated with adaptive video streaming at the edge, encompassing issues such as content piracy, privacy concerns, and the potential for malicious attacks. Furthermore, it critically evaluates existing security mechanisms and protocols, shedding light on their effectiveness in mitigating these challenges. Special attention is given to the intersection of edge computing and video streaming, emphasizing the need for adaptive security measures that can dynamically respond to varying network conditions and potential threats. Additionally, the review explores emerging technologies, such as blockchain and machine learning, and their applications in bolstering security at the edge. By providing a holistic overview of the current state of security in adaptive video streaming at the edge, this paper aims to guide future research efforts and inform industry practitioners on best practices for safeguarding the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of video content in dynamic edge environments.
