【Abstract】Mobile edge computing has been widely used in various IoT devices due to its excellent computing power and good interaction speed. Task offloading is the core of mobile edge computing. However, most of the existing task offloading strategies only focus on improving the unilateral performance of MEC, such as security, delay, and overhead. Therefore, focus on the security, delay and overhead of MEC, we propose a task offloading strategy based on differential privacy and reinforcement learning. This strategy optimizes the overhead required for the task offloading process while protecting user privacy. Specifically, before task offloading, differential privacy is used to interfere with the user's location information to avoid malicious edge servers from stealing user privacy. Then, on the basis of ensuring user privacy and security, combined with the resource environment of the MEC network, reinforcement learning is used to select appropriate edge servers for task offloading. Simulation results show that our scheme improves the performance of MEC in many aspects, especially in security and resource consumption. Compared with the typical privacy protection scheme, the security is improved by 7%, and the resource consumption is reduced by 9% compared with the typical task offloading strategy.
