Certificate-Based Cryptography and Optimized Encryption Algorithms with Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) In Secure WSN for Attack Prevention

Abstract

The usage of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for many different purposes, such as monitoring, and control of critical infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. However, WSNs are vulnerable to various types of attacks, including node compromise, message interception, and tampering. To prevent such attacks, secure communication is necessary. Certificate-based cryptography and optimized encryption algorithms can provide strong security for WSNs. IPsec, a protocol suite, ensures secure communication across IP networks, encompassing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as well. In this research, suggest a certificate-based cryptography and optimized encryption algorithms approach with IPsec in secure WSNs for attack prevention. The proposed approach is evaluated through simulation, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness in preventing attacks on WSNs.
