Abstract

The difficulty with safety in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) requires comprehensive, holistic security techniques that can offer a long-term solution. Quantum security is anticipated to assist in the overall security strategy for WSN systems, given the broad adoption of WSNs around the world, notably the Internet of Things (IoTs). With the use of WSN and these quantum safeguards, data security can be offered whenever and anywhere. This study examines the security limitations of WSNs and offers a comprehensive approach through all network layers that will function as an Equal security mechanism solution and a solution to shield nodes from threats such as attacks on sensitive data, eavesdropping, disruption, destruction, and alteration. WSNs are used in a range of missions, especially the armed forces, ecological, and health ones, for evaluation, tracking, and regulating purposes. However, problems arise from being aware of their resource limitations. Data and node security are difficulties when using WSN because of low computation capabilities, small memory, few power sources, and unreliable connectivity, to name just a few. Therefore, as the demand for WSNs increases, so does the need for better security measures.

AI-Enhanced NLP for Agile Strategy Execution: Leveraging Machine Learning to Automate Backlog Grooming and Sprint Planning at Scale

Sathish Krishna Anumula

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are quiet dynamic technology made up of discrete multi-function sensor nodes that interconnect wireless for short distances. WSNs have distinct traits as well as limitations that impede the development of efficient attack detection and prevention methods. Security in WSN is a more difficult task because of the processing limits of sensor nodes as well as the nature of wireless communications. The widespread WSNs usage has given development to several forms of threats. To guard against threats, appropriate security measures must be implemented. Cryptography, specifically encryption, plays a pivotal role in protecting data from unauthorized access. However, not all encryption methods are equally effective, as some exhibit vulnerabilities. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is the most efficient option because of its reduced key size. Comprehensive safety despite lower key sizes leads to area as well as power efficient crypto systems. With recent technological advancements, traditional encryption no longer appears to be a safe solution for security and privacy of data. Quantum cryptography uses quantum physics processes to provide safe data transmission among sender and recipient. However, quantum cryptography comprises a revolution over network security field. Therefore, this research focuses on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) with ECC for effective authentication, key management and energy conservation. Thus, the proposed QKD-ECC method is implemented and evaluated with traditional ECC and other cryptography method for better WSN security and privacy of data transmission.

Post-Quantum Cryptography on Wireless Sensor Networks: Challenges and Opportunities

Carlos Andres Lara-Nino, Miguel Morales‐Sandoval, Arturo Díaz-Pérez

In this chapter, we assess the security considerations associated with integrating wireless sensor networks (WSNs) into the Internet of Things (IoT). Our main concern stems from new potential threats to the current security solutions employed in these applications. Particularly, the potential construction of a large-scale quantum computer in the upcoming decade could enable attackers to compromise some widely used public-key cryptography (PKC) algorithms: RSA, DSA, Diffie–Hellman, ECDH, and ECDSA. In order to counteract this threat, multiple organizations led by the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology have launched a standardization process seeking PKC algorithms that can resist quantum-enabled attacks. Hence, it can be expected that IoT standards will consequently be updated to adapt for this new threat scenario. However, it is unclear whether these solutions can be adopted by WSN devices, given the processing, memory, power, and bandwidth constraints of this technology. In our work, we study multiple foreseeable outcomes as a result of this shift in security concerns and identify the different challenges and opportunities for each case.
