The edge computing-based Internet of Things (IoT) offers benefits in terms of efficiency, low latency, security, and privacy. However, programming models and platforms for this edge-based IoT are still an open problem, particularly regarding security and privacy. This paper proposes concrete and realizable ideas for building a secure programming platform called Secure Swarm Programming Platform (SSPP) to ensure platform-level security for the edge-based IoT while utilizing existing systemlevel security mechanisms. SSPP’s easy-to-use software components can enable static and dynamic security analysis of IoT applications, preventing vulnerabilities and detecting intrusions. Software deployed through SSPP can be remotely attested by a verifier on the edge, ensuring it remains untampered with. This paper also plans out future research and evaluation of SSPP’s programmability, security, and remote attestation.
