Introduction

The proliferation of edge computing has introduced new challenges in security, energy efficiency, and architectural design. Traditional security mechanisms, designed for general purpose or cloud-scale systems, are often computationally intensive and energy-demanding, making them unsuitable for edge environments. Moreover, the physical accessibility of edge devices increases their exposure to hardware-level attacks, including side-channel analysis, fault injection, and reverse engineering. These threats necessitate architectural innovations that embed security directly into the hardware fabric, enabling trustworthy computation without compromising energy budgets. Treating security as a first-cla...
