Nowadays, more interest is found among the researchers in MANETs in practical and theoretical areas and their performance under various environments. WSNs have begun to combine with the IoT via the sensing capability of Internet-connected devices and the Internet access ability of sensor nodes. It is essential to shelter the network from attacks over the Internet by keeping the secure router.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper plans to frame an effective literature review on diverse intrusion detection and prevention systems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) highly suitable for security in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The literature review is focused on various types of attacks concentrated in each contribution and the adoption of prevention and mitigation models are observed. In addition, the types of the dataset used, types of attacks concentrated, types of tools used for implementation, and performance measures analyzed in each contribution are analyzed. Finally, an attempt is made to conclude the review with several future research directions in designing and implementing IDS for MANETs that preserve the security aspects of IoT.

It observed the different attack types focused on every contribution and the adoption of prevention and mitigation models. Additionally, the used dataset types, the focused attack types, the tool types used for implementation, and the performance measures were investigated in every contribution.

Originality/value

This paper presents a literature review on diverse contributions of attack detection and prevention, and the stand of different machine learning and deep learning models along with the analysis of types of the dataset used, attacks concentrated, tools used for implementation and performance measures on the network security for IoT applications.

Title: a systematic literature review on 5g security.

Abstract: It is expected that the creation of next-generation wireless networks would result in the availability of high-speed and low-latency connectivity for every part of our life. As a result, it is important that the network is secure. The network's security environment has grown more complicated as a result of the growing number of devices and the diversity of services that 5G will provide. This is why it is important that the development of effective security solutions is carried out early. Our findings of this review have revealed the various directions that will be pursued in the development of next-generation wireless networks. Some of these include the use of Artificial Intelligence and Software Defined Mobile Networks. The threat environment for 5G networks, security weaknesses in the new technology paradigms that 5G will embrace, and provided solutions presented in the key studies in the field of 5G cyber security are all described in this systematic literature review for prospective researchers. Future research directions to protect wireless networks beyond 5G are also covered.

Wireless Body Area Networks are gaining popularity in healthcare applications due to recent advances in sensor technology, integrated circuits, and wireless communication. These systems need to ensure that data is protected during collection, transmission, processing and storage. Currently, no complete solution exists for ensuring data is protected while also meeting regulatory security requirements for wireless body area network applications. To develop effective solutions, it is necessary to explore the attacks and security requirements of wireless body area network applications. There is no comprehensive list of attacks and security requirements. This paper will present a systematic literature review of potential attacks and security requirements for ensuring data security in wireless body area networks.

Wi-fi security: a literature review of security in wireless network.

In this paper, the authors propose wireless networks have broadcast nature so there are different security issues in the wireless communication. The security conventions intended for the wired systems can’t be extrapolated to wireless systems. Hackers and intruders can make utilization of the loopholes of the wireless communication. In this paper, they will mull over the different remote security dangers to wireless systems and conventions at present accessible like Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). WPA2 is more hearty security convention as compared with WPA on the grounds that it utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

WI-FI SECURITY: A LITERATURE REVIEW OF SECURITY IN WIRELESS NETWORK

Impact Factor(JCC): 1.9586-This article can be downloaded from www.impactjournals.us ABSTRACT As we know wireless networks have broadcast nature so there are different security issues in the wireless communication. The security conventions intended for the wired systems can't be extrapolated to wireless systems. Hackers and intruders can make utilization of the loopholes of the wireless communication. In this paper we will mull over the different remote security dangers to wireless systems and conventions at present accessible like Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). WPA2 is more hearty security convention as compared with WPA on the grounds that it utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. There are few issues in WPA2 like it is helpless against brute force attack and MIC bits could be utilized by programmer to compare it with the decoded content. So in this paper we will concentrate on different sorts of wireless security dangers.

Wireless Networking technology is now one of the most popular technologies but still there are drawbacks which are closely associated with Wireless Networks. In wireless network communication, the data is transferred from one point to another point through radio waves which makes wireless networks weak for attacks. To eliminate threats, understanding about said attacks always provides good ability to defend wireless network. This research paper will describe the overview of the wireless technology with its drawbacks, Present security and privacy issues, Potential wireless network Security threats (unauthorized access, Active eavesdropping, Man in the Middle Attack, Denial of Service and etc), Tools that hackers often use to exploit vulnerabilities in wireless networking (NetStumbler, Kismet, Airsnort, Airsnarf, Airjack and etc) and will propose the best ways to secure Wireless Network.

Wireless technology has been increasingly popular for some year. Acceptance of wireless network depend on the case of use and level of security. Now day the most of wireless network hold over sensitive information and given access only authorized user. As a result communication network are essential implements some type of security protocol that will restrict users to who have access to network resource. To make sure the network is most secure. Must be network capable implements two concepts data privacy and data integrity. Data privacy is ensuring this when it comes to data integrity all the pocket on network are irreversible or unreadable for any universal force to sure that edited data is corrected. There are three main type of security standard in wireless. In this survey paper we discusses three most well know wireless network protocols also name WEP, WPA and WPA2. We discussed the shape of WEP and WPA, WPA2. Now we try to explain WPA2 version and problem after this to solve the major problem. At the end we make comparison among WEP and WPA and WPA2 as all wireless security protocols in Wi-Fi technology.

Wireless networks have posed a threat in Data Security that has stuck to the core of data communication between two points. Absence of inflexible security measures has made numerous organizations contribute millions to verify their systems. Development of different security conventions for Wireless LANs has been given in this paper. Also, vulnerabilities of WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA3 have been discussed and how the wireless networks are attacked using the design flaws present in these Wireless Security Protocols. The use of different tools and programming languages used for testing the strength of the protocols. Tools like nmap, zenmap, aircrack-ng, etc., are used in the Linux environment to practically demonstrate the attacks against these networks using WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA3 protocols. The solutions for the shortcomings in WEP has been applied in WPA, similarly WPA2 and WPA3.

In current world everyone wants to communicate without the need of a physical infrastructure, at a low cost, high speed and low power consumption. All these features made the wireless communication technology as a first choice for every individual or by any organization. For a small organization or in home networks WLAN is being widely recommendable solution. It can replace the wired LAN and offers many benefits to the market momentum. Apart from these advantages security is the fundamental aspect where research is going on. WLAN faces many security challenges especially in Wi-Fi networking. The goal of this paper is to discuss the major privacy security issues, attacks, solutions and fundamental security requirements of wireless communication.

Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity and it operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz radio spectrum, support variable data rates and it is used to define the wireless technology in the IEEE 802.11b standard. Wireless network provides many advantages like mobility, cut costs but it is coupled with many security threats such as replay attack, eaves dropping, denial of services attack etc. The threats of intrusion into the wireless network have forced user to adopt a range of security. This paper presents an analysis of the three security protocols, from the WLANs security requirements point of view. In this paper, we discuss the wireless security protocols with details about the encryption & authentication mechanism used and their limitations.
