Adaptive Security Protocols for Wireless and Mobile Networks Address Cyber Threats

• •New adaptive protocols enhance security in Wireless Sensor and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks.
• •The proposed DQN-based routing protocol achieves 99.46% accuracy in intrusion detection.
• •RLSRP demonstrates over 99% packet delivery ratio while mitigating wormhole attacks.

Recent advancements in adaptive security protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have been reported. Article 1 discusses a new routing protocol using Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to enhance security against various cyber-attacks, achieving a 20% improvement in routing efficiency and 99.46% accuracy in intrusion detection. Article 2 introduces the Reinforcement Learning-Based Secure Routing Protocol (RLSRP), which addresses wormhole attacks and improves routing stability with over 99% packet delivery ratio. Both protocols emphasize energy efficiency and real-time adaptability in dynamic environments. The research highlights the critical need for robust security measures in resource-constrained networks, particularly in military and healthcare applications. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of these protocols in large-scale environments. The ongoing research aims to mitigate vulnerabilities and enhance secure communication in challenging conditions.
