EEC (Edge Enabler Client)
Also known as: Edge Enabler Client
The EEC is the 3GPP edge-computing client (TS 23.558) running on the UE that discovers available Edge Application Servers via the ECS, registers with the EES, and provides supporting services to Application Clients such as connectivity information and configuration. It is the UE-side counterpart of the Edge Enabler Server.

EEC in context
Telecom security is written into standards from 3GPP, GSMA, ETSI, IETF and ITU-T. Understanding which body owns which specification, and how the specs interlock (for example 3GPP TS 33.501 with GSMA FS.34 for 5G SBA security), is essential for both design and audit work.
To place EEC in the wider telecom-security picture, review EES, ECS, ETSI ISG MEC, GBA, HI3 and ICT.
