Abstract

Precision agriculture or farming comprises a set of technologies that combines sensors, information systems, enhanced machinery, and informed management to optimize production by accounting for variability and uncertainties within agricultural systems. The digital farm is a uniquely complex system, involving interactions among multiple factors over many time and space scales. The goal of this paper is to establish a foundation for research and education focused on solutions to current and emerging challenges of wireless sensor network (WSN) in digital farm domains with heightened requirements for reliability, security and performance. The gap between capabilities and the ability to safeguard information assets must not be ignored, given the documented rise in the number and sophistication of threats and the broadening vulnerabilities of WSN applications and systems worldwide. In addition, a framework of security approach for dataflow in precision agriculture is discussed.
