Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have up until now faced many challenges because of their open, wide-ranging, and resource-limited nature, including security, efficiency, and energy consumption. In the military system, it is essential to provide high-level security to the significant data over wireless network which is proved to be unreliable public communications. To solve the above problem, high level of security with minimum complexity should be applied to be adequate to limited capabilities of transmission system. This paper presents a new algorithm named (SRS) for encrypting transmitted military images to keep them from getting hacked or broken by WSN. The SRS algorithm is designed to be lightweight, fast, and secure, taking into consideration the limited capabilities of the transmission system. It is implemented as a public key cryptosystem specifically designed for image encryption. The algorithm consists of two parts: encryption and decryption. The proposed system suggested some equations and calculations that are applied to the plain and coded images after being transmitted over the WSN. The results of testing the simulation model demonstrate the effectiveness of the system by evaluation using various metrics such as Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). Overall, the paper presents a new encryption algorithm, SRS, specifically designed for securing military images transmitted over wireless sensor networks. The algorithm aims to provide a balance between security, efficiency, and energy consumption, considering the resource-limited nature of WSNs. The simulation results indicate the improvement of the proposed system by 13 %, 10 %, and 55 % in packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput, and dropping ratio, respectively, and it shows that the suggested SRS method increased execution time by 67 % compared to RSA based algorithm
