Securing data in Wireless Sensor Network using Hybrid ECC + AES Cryptographic Approach

This research work unveils a groundbreaking cryptographic strategy designed to bolster the security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By harnessing the combined strengths of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), this study introduces a novel hybrid approach, denoted as ECC + AES cryptographic system. The primary objective of this system is to fortify the security of data transmission within WSNs. Crafted with a keen understanding of the challenges presented by resource-constrained environments such as WSNs, the ECC + AES solution demonstrates a remarkable capability to ensure data protection. The research's innovative outcomes address the inherent vulnerabilities that characterize WSNs, offering a robust and resilient approach to safeguarding sensitive data. The amalgamation of ECC and AES not only fortifies data security but also does so with minimal impact on resource allocation, effectively minimizing both memory usage and energy consumption. In doing so, the study bridges the gap between security and efficiency, presenting a cryptographic framework that is not only robust but also tailored to the practical demands of WSNs. In an era defined by the proliferation of data and the growing importance of secure communication, the ECC + AES cryptographic system emerges as a pioneering solution. By proposing a hybrid approach that effectively merges cryptographic prowess with resource efficiency, this research underscores its potential to reshape the landscape of data security within WSNs.
