Method And Apparatus For Optimized Access Of Security Credentials Via Mobile Edge-computing Systems
A method for secure access to a mobile edge-computing system device based on a subscriber location fingerprint may comprise receiving a request to access the mobile edge-computing system, a first personal authorization credential record, and an encrypted token from a requesting client, associating the first personal authorization credential record with a block chain location fingerprint for the subscribing client, including a plurality of time-stamped records of a plurality of estimated or measured location state variables of the subscribing client and an associated confidence interval representing an accuracy of those variables, decrypting the location fingerprint, receiving a requesting client location measurement, predicting a current location for the subscribing client and an associated current confidence interval based on recent location state variables in the location fingerprint, and allowing the requesting client access to the mobile edge-computing system when the received requesting client location measurement falls within the value of the current confidence interval.

- 1. An information handling system of a mobile edge-computing system operating a nomadic computing authentication system comprising:
a memory receiving a predicted location of a client with a predicted location tolerance and an encrypted set of personal authorization credentials; a processor executing machine readable executable code instructions to:
detect an access attempt by the client including identification of the client at a first location and a first personal authorization credential record;
determine whether the access attempt indicates the client is within the predicted location tolerance of the predicted location of the client;
determine whether the client access attempt meets authorization and identify a plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range of the first location; and
select an optimal edge compute partner system from among the plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range of the first location based on capability to meet a computing resource requirement requested in the access attempt.
- 8. An information handling system of a mobile edge-computing system operating a nomadic computing authentication system comprising:
a memory receiving a predicted location of a client device with a predicted location tolerance; the memory receiving a pre-located, encrypted set of personal authorization credentials; a processor executing machine readable executable code instructions to:
identify a plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range of the predicted future location;
detect an access attempt by the client device including identification of the client device at a first location and a first personal authorization credential record, wherein the first personal authorization credential record is a biometric measurement;
determine whether the access attempt indicates the first location is within the predicted location tolerance of the predicted location of the client;
decrypt the personal authorization credentials and determine whether the client access attempt with the personal authorization credential record meets authorization; and
identify a plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range of the first location and select an optimal edge compute partner system from among the plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range of the first location based on capability to meet a computing resource requirement requested in the access attempt.
- 14. An information handling system of an authentication server operating a nomadic computing authentication system comprising:
a memory storing an encrypted client location fingerprint for a client device having a history of client location state variables and a pointer to a stored encrypted set of personal authorization credentials in a personal authorization credential record; and a processor executing machine readable executable code instructions to:
predict a future location for the client device based on access to an encrypted client location fingerprint having a history of client device locations;
identify a plurality of mobile edge computing systems located within a preset range from the predicted future location; and
pre-locate the encrypted personal authorization credential record at a first mobile edge computing system within the preset range of the predicted future location.
