STAC-ML: A Trust-Aware Security Architecture for Resource-Constrained NDN-IoT Networks with Lightweight ML-Assisted Threat Detection
Edge caching improves latency and energy efficiency in IoT deployments, but it also enlarges the attack surface: cache poisoning, content pollution, and Interest flooding can silently corrupt time-critical services. Existing defences sit at two inadequate extremes—blockchain-based trust exceeds edge-device budgets (>10...
