MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION IN INTEGRATING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH IOT
M. Prabhakar · 2023
We find sensors everywhere. They can be found in our cars, in mobile phones, in industries where carbon dioxide emission is monitored and controlled and even in the vineyards where the soil condition is monitored. Research on WSN was initiated way in 1980s, and since processors, radios and sensors were made available for very less price integrated on a single chip, from the year 2001 extensive research and develop menthes been carried out in this area. Internet of things (IoT) also came in to picture slowly during the same period. Kevin Ashton was the first person who proposed the concept of IoT in the year 1999 [1] and these things form a virtual network where each object is uniquely identifiable. The objects include living things like plants, animals, human beings, specific parts of the body and non-living things like vehicles, machines, buildings, parks etc. The objects in these IoT communicate with each other through various kind of technology, where as wireless communication is considered as the technology used in various domains. Areas which are unattended are deployed with tiny devices called wireless sensors which are less expensive and small in physical size, memory and with limited computation power. These devices are integrated with IoT and are a key component in the development of WSNs.
