Systematic Survey on security issues in Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks (CWSN)

Abstract

Cognitive wireless sensor networks, also known as CWSN, are a cutting-edge technology that could one day provide a solution to the issues that have plagued wireless networks in the past. These issues have plagued conventional wireless networks for a number of years. Today, CWSNs are faced with a whole new and significant task, which is to ensure network safety. A conventional wireless network is not the same as a CWSN since it does not have the same capabilities and does have additional constraints. In this article, we go over the many different attacks that may be made against CWSNs, how they are categorised, and the many different security measures that can be put in place to prevent these attacks from happening. The difficulties that lie ahead in the future are also discussed.
