Description: Sensor security refers to the measures implemented to protect sensing devices from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. These sensors, which are key components in monitoring and control systems, can be vulnerable to various threats, including hacking, data manipulation, and physical sabotage. Sensor security involves the implementation of authentication protocols, data encryption, and firmware updates to ensure that only authorized users can access information and that transmitted data is secure. Additionally, the physical integrity of sensors is considered, protecting them from damage or external interference. The importance of sensor security has exponentially increased with the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), where thousands of devices are interconnected and can be targets of cyberattacks. Therefore, sensor security is crucial not only for data protection but also for the stability and functionality of critical systems across various sectors, including healthcare, industry, and public infrastructure.
