Implementation of Efficient Encryption Algorithms to Protect Data in Wireless Sensor Networks Integrated with IoT
Keywords:
Wireless Sensor Network, Tiny Encryption Algorithm, lightweight encryption, energy efficiency, data securityAbstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have numerous applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), ranging from environmental monitoring to smart agriculture and healthcare systems. However, WSNs face significant challenges in data security due to the limited resources of sensor nodes, such as power, processing capacity, and memory. Therefore, an efficient encryption algorithm is needed that can maintain data confidentiality without overloading resources. One widely considered solution is the use of the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA). This study aims to analyze the implementation of the TEA encryption algorithm in IoT-based WSNs and compare it with AES-128 in terms of energy efficiency and computation time. The results show that TEA has advantages in terms of energy efficiency and computation time compared to AES-128, making it an ideal solution for resource-constrained WSN applications.
