Abstract: Cloud computing provides a user-convenient, low-expense, and powerful computing platform for sharing resources like online storage, applications, and software through the internet. But with the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and massive amounts of private data in the network, the centralized and conventional architecture of cloud computing has become a bottleneck because of limited bandwidth and resources. At the same time security is also an open concern for cloud computing. Hence, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is an extended architecture of cloud computing that enables data processing and storing at the edge of mobile networks. Instead of having some unique features (distributed architecture, parallel processing, low latency), MEC has also brought some security threats and challenges. In this paper, a comprehensive comparison between cloud computing and MEC has been presented in terms of features and security threats. Also, the security mechanisms for handling the threats are analyzed.
