Smart city is a quickly developing approach that is powered by Internet of Things (IoTs), providing a number of services such as collaborative diagnosis and intelligent transportation. In general, in a smart city, the terminals have certain limitations that crib their capability of processing cross application and diversified services. Due to insufficient availability of resources that can be used to develop a collaborative smart city services, a novel methodology that is highly recommended is edge computing which holds facility with high processing ability in the city terminals. However, the threat of privacy and safety of information in the collaborative services is crucial in order to ensure a safer environment of edge computing. To address this privacy issue, we have proposed an offloading method that can be used in smarty city to strengthen the privacy, promote edge utility and improve offloading efficiency. In order to establish balance between the collaborative service and privacy preservation, edge computing is integrated with information entropy. The performance is further verified using simulation analysis in appropriate environment.
