Security of Nanoscale Communication networks - Status, Challenges and Future Trends

Abstract

A nano-network is a communication network that connects nano-devices. Nano-devices have severe functional challenges due to limitations in processing capability and power management. As a result, these devices are expected to do simple tasks that necessitate novel approaches. To take use of different Nano-machine capabilities, we need to manage and run a set of Nano-devices in a whole Nano-network using an appropriate architecture. Unrivalled biomedical, environmental, and industrial uses will be possible at this time. The IoT has transformed the way people use the Internet, allowing various types of things, sensors, and gadgets to interact with each other, and enabling our future networks to connect almost everything from conventional network devices to people. As a result, in such market, security and robustness are crucial. Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT), molecular communication, nano-network, nano-machines, security is some of the terms used. This paper will introduce a survey about the security aspect of the (Nanoscale Communication Networks), concentrating on the literature survey, and the main challenges, and the future trends of such important research field.
