Description: ZigBee security refers to the specific security measures and protocols designed to protect networks using the ZigBee standard, a low-power, short-range wireless communication protocol. This security approach is crucial for ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity of data transmitted in environments where connected devices are implemented, such as in home automation and smart building management. ZigBee employs a security architecture that includes data encryption, device authentication, and access control, allowing users to establish secure and reliable networks. Encryption is performed using symmetric keys, meaning that both the sender and receiver share a secret key to encrypt and decrypt information. Additionally, device authentication ensures that only authorized devices can join the network, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access. ZigBee security is particularly relevant in various applications, where data protection and intrusion prevention are essential for the safe operation of automated systems.
