Abstract :Information technologies are changing every aspect of human life day by day. In this context, Edge Computing, Internet of Things, Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics technologies are thought to be a part of this change. Edge computing aims to bring the computing power from the remote cloud environments to the endpoints/edges of networks. Thus, smart applications do not have to send all their data to the cloud and wait for the answers to come back over the same long route. Despite this advantage, there are security risks in the edge computing process. Encryption of information is of great importance especially for IoT devices to perform transactions safely. With a system established in this study, encrypted communication has been tried to be provided on IoT devices performing edge computing. In this way, it is aimed to make the communication secure. Arduino is used as an IoT device. In the encryption process, AES encryption is used with 128-bit and 256-bit key length.
