Abstract

The most recent developments in wireless technology have led to the emergence of cutting-edge mobile phones as well as various smart devices. Handheld devices are popular among the public because of their mobility and also for their resource extensibility feature in the form of cloud technologies. While there are many benefits reaped from mobile devices, they are also a popular target for hackers who seek to access their sensitive data. Furthermore, when the task is offloaded outside of the mobile device, the critical data is in a compromised position because it becomes part of a large network. To make matters worse, adhoc computing’s heterogeneous offloading environment makes the task most vulnerable to evolving threats. So it is important for application developers to defend application tasks from a variety of cyberattacks. Therefore, to address this issue, when a decision is made to offload to an adhoc host, it is ensured that the latest operating system updates are present by verifying its version. To be more specific, because operating system vendors frequently release security updates, having them installed on adhoc hosts makes them safer from attacks. This step ensures that task offloading is only performed on the upgraded adhoc hosts for small and critical tasks. As a result, even secure applications may be considered to be offloaded to ad hoc, which necessitates fundamental security. Also, through the simulations, it is also seen that the cost is reduced by almost 30 to 40% (depending on the cost set by the edge devices) when the same number of tasks are offloaded to adhoc hosts when compared to the edge cloudlets.
