Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as a transformative technology with diverse applications across environmental monitoring, healthcare, smart cities, and industrial automation. However, the security of WSNs remains a critical challenge, particularly in heterogeneous environments where nodes possess varied capabilities and communication protocols. This paper explores the unique security challenges specific to heterogeneous WSNs and proposes an enhanced security model tailored to address these challenges effectively. The introduction highlights the vulnerabilities of WSNs, including broadcast communication exposure, making sensor nodes susceptible to attacks like jamming and data interception. The absence of centralized infrastructure necessitates decentralized and efficient security mechanisms to protect sensitive data and ensure network integrity. The literature survey reviews existing security models and protocols for WSNs, emphasizing the need for lightweight authentication, secure key management, intrusion detection, and secure routing. The proposed security model incorporates dynamic key management, lightweight authentication, secure data aggregation, and intrusion detection to fortify heterogeneous WSNs against emerging threats and vulnerabilities. Future research directions aim to develop scalable and adaptive security frameworks to withstand evolving threats in dynamic network environments. By exploring these challenges and proposing innovative security solutions, this paper contributes to enhancing the security posture of heterogeneous WSNs across various industries and applications. © 2024 IEEE.
