Abstract

From environmental monitoring to healthcare, WSN are essential. The extensive use of these networks to gather sensitive data requires strong data privacy mechanisms. Cryptographic homomorphic encryption may solve this problem. This study uses CKKS encryption and ciphertext packing to improve Wireless Sensor Network data privacy. CKKS is a fully homomorphic encryption scheme that allows complex data operations. This makes it ideal for data analytics and computations. Ciphertext packing improves computational efficiency, making this combination a good choice for data protection in WSN environments with limited resources. Performance efficiency is crucial to evaluation. This parameter evaluates CKKS encryption with ciphertext packing’s computational resource and execution time efficiency. This study examines how this approach affects WSN node and network performance, revealing its feasibility and practicality in real-world situations. The Data Security parameter highlights CKKS encryption with ciphertext packing’s data security. This comprehensive assessment determines data confidentiality and integrity in the Wireless Sensor Network. The system’s ability to withstand data breaches and unauthorized access is crucial for protecting sensitive data. Any WSN solution must consider energy consumption. This parameter evaluates data encryption and processing energy usage, taking sensor node energy constraints into account. The assessment of CKKS encryption with ciphertext packing in WSN sheds light on its potential to improve data confidentiality while addressing WSN challenges. This research strengthens WSN data protection efforts and lays the groundwork for future advances in this vital field.
