Claim 0:
1. An edge computing node, comprising:
an input/output bus operable to receive data from a sensor;
a network interface coupled to the input/output bus and providing access to peer edge nodes via one or more networks; and
a persistent storage coupled to the input/output bus, the persistent storage comprising a public region and private region;
a central processing unit coupled to the input/output bus and operable to:
gather sensor node data via the sensor and store at least part of the sensor node data locally in the public region of the persistent storage;
back up duplicate portions of the sensor node data to public storage regions of the peer-edge nodes;
receive private data from a host that is coupled to the edge computing node and the peer edge nodes; and
store the private data in the private region, the private region being protected from the peer edge nodes using distributed key management.
