Prevention of Security Attacks at Wireless Network Layers using Machine Learning Techniques

Wireless sensor networks have great potential for use in flood control, weather forecasting systems, the military, and the healthcare industry. A WSN’s nodes are connected to one another and share information. When sending data between nodes, data security is essential. In the world of networking, security is a top priority. Data travels along a path when it is transferred from one location to another, increasing the likelihood that a rogue node would enter the network. Detecting malicious nodes within a network presents a formidable challenge, particularly due to external assaults on data packets during their transmission between nodes. Hackers take advantage of weaknesses to manipulate and alter data as it travels from the source node to the destination node. This paper looked at machine learning algorithm-based preventive measures and layer-level security challenges.
