Definition ∞ Edge computing privacy concerns the protection of sensitive data processed and stored closer to its source, rather than exclusively in centralized cloud environments. This involves safeguarding information collected by Internet of Things devices and local servers at the network edge. The goal is to minimize data exposure during transmission and processing. It addresses the challenges of securing data in distributed and often resource-constrained environments.
Context ∞ The growing adoption of edge computing in various sectors raises significant questions about data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. Key discussions revolve around implementing robust encryption, access controls, and anonymization techniques at the edge. Future developments will likely involve integrating privacy-enhancing technologies like federated learning and secure multi-party computation into edge architectures.
