Security Threats and Attacks in Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract: Sensor networks enable application that connects the physical world to the virtual world.A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of distributed autonomous sensors to closelymonitor physical or environmental conditions. Wireless platforms are less expensive andare more powerful, the applications supported by WSNs [1] vary from monitoring,tracking to controlling. In the era of interconnected world, security of both external andinternal data exchange over network nodes is a primary concern. This paper studies …

Black Hole Attack in MANET
Abstract: AbstractWireless network in today’s era is increasing day by day, with the rising need of wireless connectivity the threat of attack on the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is also increasing. MANET Routing protocols suffer from different kind of attacks on all the layers of protocol stack. One of such attack which occurs at network layer is Black Hole Attack [1]. Black hole attack is one of the security issues in …

A Survey on Various Security Attacks in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network
Abstract: AbstractMobile ad-hoc network is infrastructure-less network and there is no central authority to govern its functioning. Mobile nodes are connected with each other via wireless link and communicate with one other with the aid of intermediate nodes that come in their transmission range. Mobile nodes are keys to this network and hence are capable of moving free throughout the network; this property makes MANET to be attacked by various types …

Internet of Things: Threats and Security
Abstract: Security is the most important in today’s world as we have personal and confidential data which we do not want to share with anyone, but somehow attackers attack on our data and steal our identity. Same happens in IoT, attackers somehow attack on devices or communication channels and steal the data. This study reviews all the threats and security issues in IoT. Nowadays, devices are made in such a way …

A Systematic Literature Review on Security Challenges in Cloud–Edge Hybrid Systems
Abstract: Cloud–edge hybrid systems have become a key framework in today’s distributed computing landscape, combining fast, near-source data processing at the edge with the flexible scalability and resource richness of centralized cloud infrastructures. However, this in- tegration introduces a complex security landscape where tradi- tional perimeter- based cloud security measures are insufficient for resource- constrained and physically exposed edge nodes. This literature review synthesizes findings from established research publications (2020–2025), focusing …

AN ACTIVE SPOOF MANAGEMENT IN AN EMAIL APPLICATION
Abstract: One of theserious security issue for email applications is spoofing.Most of the anti-email spoofing techniques developed recently,donot provide users with sufficient control and information on spoof attacks.In this technique, a web based client oriented anti-spoofing email application is developed which actively detects,monitors and controls email spoofing attacks.While the application detects a spoofed message,it triggers an alert message and sends the spoofed message into a spoof filter.However,the user is also given …

Detection and Prevention Techniques of Wormhole Attack- A Survey
Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc network is a network made up of wireless mobile nodes without infrastructure. Easy deployment and self configuration are the MANET features used in many applications. Therefore MANET gains a lot of interest of many researchers in the past few years. The Wormhole attack at the network layer is the most attention seeking attack in ad hoc networks. This attack is hard to detect and easy to implement. …

Security Challenges and Solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks: a Case study of Afghanistan
Abstract: Due to their capability to collect and relay data from locations without supervision, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become essential for numerous contemporary applications (such as environmental monitoring, smart cities, and healthcare). However, the open and resource-constrained nature of WSNs makes them particularly vulnerable to security threats. This paper reviews the key security Issue faced by WSNs and the solutions proposed in recent literature. We examine the unique constraints of …

Assessing the Robustness of Machine Learning Models for Wireless Intrusion Detection Under Adversarial Traffic Perturbations
Abstract: As the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wireless communication networks continue to grow rapidly, protecting systems from cyber threats has become increasingly important. Machine learning–based intrusion detection systems (IDS) have shown strong potential in detecting abnormal and malicious network activities, yet their effectiveness and resilience when facing adversarial attacks are still not sufficiently explored. This research evaluates Machine Learning (ML) models–XGBoost, random forest, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP)—in detecting attacks …
