A Brief Survey on Data Aggregation and Data Compression Models using Blockchain Model in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Most of the time, nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are set up in an unmonitored, potentially dangerous setting. Battery life, storage space, processing power, and network connectivity are all severely lacking in these nodes. Therefore, it is difficult to protect a WSN without negatively impacting the efficiency of the network. The issues listed above can be effectively addressed with a well-designed plan that makes use of Data Aggregation (DA) in conjunction with a robust security system In this work, we provide a thorough analysis of Secure Data Aggregation (SDA) in WSNs, highlighting both the security benefits sought and the challenges currently faced by this approach. Both established and up-and-coming network topologies are covered, with comparisons drawn between them to highlight key differences in application landscapes and security provisions afforded by each. Compressive data gathering (CDG), which employs Compressive Sensing (CS), can significantly enhance energy effieiency with the advantages gained from data compression. The data collection performance and longevity of Internet of Things (IoT) based WSNs are found to be significantly improved by CS based data collecting techniques. However, in hostile and sophisticated network deployments, they encounter significant difficulties with key distribution and adversary attacks. This research explores how wireless sensor networks' security measures affect their ability to collect and analyze data. This research provides a brief survey on data aggregation and data compression using blockchain in WSN for secure data transmission.
