In the current paper, we present our work towards

to correctly support IoT applications and services that seek
better communication platforms. Security as a Service can also
be seen as a cloud-based model that needs to be accommodated
to fulfill these services requirements. Again, one of the main

performance of such systems or services in order to make them
capable of coping with the huge amount of data while
remaining reliable. A potential solution is the FPGA based
edge computing, which is a powerful combination offering
FPGA acceleration capabilities together with edge and fog
