English Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a set of sensors used to sense or transfer any information wirelessly to the base station.

Recently, it used in several aspects of our life such as, monitory field, borders oil and gas excavation fields.

In most of these fields network security is the critical aspect to be considered, where brute force attack is one of the main problems that still has not been solved accurately although many studies have been conducted.

This thesis will try to provide a solution against brute force attack in Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) through implementing Honey Encryption Algorithm (HE) using MATLAB and several tests were conducted to show that the obtained result has increased the lifetime of the network with a ratio of 37% and consumed the energy is 0.004.

Therefore using this algorithm to protect the network entirely from any brute force attacks.
