Abstract

In today’s technological era, where the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has become more widespread, especially in the field of education, particularly through studentled innovation platforms for example in university club that related to study of IoT or ICT like IoTeams Clubs in Kuliyyah of Information and Communication Technology (KICT), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) who relies heavily on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for real-time data collection and communication. Still, WSNs are at risk from various security issues like data being intercepted, nodes getting compromised, and denial-of-service attacks because they are wireless and do not have plenty of resources. This paper aims to discuss these security-related problems from a wireless communication angle and their effect on IoTeams. The focus is to determine the security of WSNs in student-driven IoT work research and explore which current practices can be used to help them. The methodology involves a comprehensive literature review of WSNs security issues in education and a survey among IoTeams members about their perceptions, actions, and concerns regarding security in wireless communication. The study offers a clearer understanding of the vulnerabilities in the current security of IoT in academic environments and offers targeted ways to improve wireless security within student-driven IoT ecosystem.
