Securing the Future of Wireless Sensor Networks: Challenges, Threats, and Innovative Solutions

Abstract

This research study underscores the critical significance of securing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) due to their essential role in a broad spectrum of applications. Wireless Sensor Networks comprised of interconnected sensor nodes, have revolutionized data collection and real-time monitoring, but theirsusceptibility to security threats is a significant concern. With the rapid expansion of WSNs, the paper emphasizes the urgency of addressing their security to avert data breaches and cyberattacks. The paper’s objectives encompass in-depth analysis of WSN architecture, comprehensive literature reviews, identification of key security challenges, exploration of threats, presentation of innovative security solutions, examination of real-world cases,and projection of future trends. It offers readers a roadmap fromfoundational understanding to envisioning the evolving landscape of WSN security, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of the difficulties, risks, and cutting-edge solutions that will shape the future of WSN security.
