Patent attributes
A fog/edge server machine for authenticating a user in an edge computing model is disclosed using a data spectrum table and spectrum hash values to improve performance, efficiency, and/or security. The edge computing model may include, in some examples, a secure Internet of Things (IoT) and/or mobile-based authentication system. Illustrative embodiments of a spectrum table stored at fog/edge server, a spectrum data array and spectrum hash value generated and stored in memory at the fog/edge sever, and a large, data table stored at an application server are disclosed herein to show continuous/subsequent authentication of the user with attributes/values/inputs collected by one or more edge devices during post-login activities/interactions to re-authenticate/maintain the authentication.
