Machine learning offers a solution to enhance security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) without draining power. This approach helps WSNs identify threats and malicious nodes, overcoming traditional security limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Network Security
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) face inherent energy and security challenges, where increased security measures often lead to higher power consumption.
  • Traditional security protocols (encryption, key management) are often impractical for WSNs due to limited power and dynamic network topologies.
  • The trade-off between energy efficiency and robust security is a critical design consideration for WSNs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of WSN infrastructure and its associated security vulnerabilities.
  • To explore the potential of machine learning (ML) algorithms in enhancing WSN security while mitigating energy costs.
  • To discuss the challenges and propose solutions for integrating ML into WSNs for threat detection and self-development.
