Security in Wireless Sensor Networks Using OMNET: Literature Review⁺⁺

With the essential increase in the use of wireless sensor networks, security is a major concern in every field. Intrusions have become frequent and present a significant challenge in today’s world. It is valuable to explore the feasibility of designing and rigorously assessing intrusion detection systems within network simulation environments. Wireless sensor network security risk prediction is a key aspect of wireless network security technology. Analyzing the current state of wireless networks, security is a crucial step in ongoing research in the field of network security. In this paper, we discuss how OMNET++ is used for intrusion detection for different types of attacks in wireless sensor networks, what frameworks and protocols are used in OMNET++, and why OMNET++ is used, along with a few security attacks in wireless networks.
