Security in Wireless Sensor Networks for Precision Agriculture: Threats, Prevention, and Protection Mechanisms

Abstract

This paper explores thesecurity challengesassociated withdata transmissioninprecision agriculture, emphasising thevulnerabilities introduced by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To mitigate these risks, we provide acomprehensive analysisof different types ofcyberattackstargeting WSNs, along withdetection, prevention, and defense strategiesto safeguard agricultural data and ensure the reliability of smart farming systems.
