Integrating Lightweight Cryptography with Human-Computer Interaction Principles in Agricultural Wireless Sensor Networks
摘要
This paper explores the integration of Lightweight Cryptography (LWC) with Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles to enhance both security and usability in agricultural Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). By analyzing the Ascon cipher, a NIST-selected standard for lightweight authenticated encryption and applying HCI design principles, we propose a conceptual framework aimed at improving data integrity and user engagement in precision agriculture. While empirical validation is reserved for future work, this foundational study provides a blueprint for deploying user-centric cryptographic solutions in resource-constrained environments.
