| Resumen: | Pervasive computing and communication paradigms are reshaping how modern systems deliver and consume services. These paradigms create an ecosystem in which computation and communication are seamlessly embedded into the environment, enabling ubiquitous access to intelligent systems and services. Moving beyond the constraints of centralized infrastructures and traditional backbone networks, they support a distributed, adaptive, and context-aware architecture that integrates diverse technologies to address dynamic demands in our lives. For example, Pervasive Edge Computing (PEC) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks enable global coverage and adaptability to a wide range of use cases, from local latency-sensitive operations such as smart city monitoring and autonomous driving to performance-critical applications such as large-scale Earth observation, global disaster response, and remote telemedicine. Despite their transformative potential, pervasive computing and communication paradigms still face significant challenges. Ensuring secure and verifiable interoperability across diverse environments, maintaining reliability under dynamic and heterogeneous conditions, and optimizing resource efficiency in distributed architectures are critical to realizing a secure, reliable, and efficient ecosystem that fulfills the promise of these groundbreaking paradigms. My research focuses on building a secure, reliable, and efficient ecosystem for pervasive computing and communication paradigms by addressing key challenges such as unique resource constraints, highly dynamic network conditions, and heterogeneous system interoperability, thereby unlocking the full potential of these paradigms to support trustworthy, resilient, and high-performance distributed services. To enable performance-critical applications in broadband satellite networks, I design a congestion- and energy-aware pricing and resource reservation algorithm to improve efficiency in LEO satellite networks. To explore and strengthen the security of existing satellite-based systems, I investigate the architecture of the LEO constellation and uncover novel attack surfaces related to resource allocation that threaten the effectiveness and integrity of Earth observation services. To enhance verifiability and reliability in PEC, I develop a framework that enforces service-level agreements through cryptography-based techniques. Together, these efforts advance the secure, reliable, and efficient ecosystem for emerging pervasive computing and communication paradigms across diverse application domains to better and more securely support the needs of next-generation services. |
