Abstract

With the adoption of various industrial sensors in Precision Agriculture (P.A.), there is an increasing concern of threat during data aggregation by a massive number of on-field sensors to the base station. Owing to the constraint of resources within such farming sensors, it is not feasible to incorporate sophisticated and conventional security approaches. A literature review shows a minimal emphasis on addressing energy and security issues combined relating to P.A. Therefore, the proposed study introduces a novel and simplifies secure authentication mechanism that offers multiple layers of resistance to any adversary for participating in the data aggregation process. The simulation study carried out shows that the proposed system provides better residual energy retention and is high resilience towards a majority of lethal threats reported in P.A.
