Security challenges in data communication networks
Author(s): Sophia K Mitchell and Charlotte M Edwards
Abstract: The rapid growth of data communication networks has brought unprecedented benefits in terms of connectivity, data exchange, and information access. However, with this growth comes significant security challenges. Data communication networks are increasingly vulnerable to a variety of security threats, including eavesdropping, data breaches, unauthorized access, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and malware. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the security challenges facing modern data communication networks, focusing on wired and wireless systems. It also highlights the key technologies used to mitigate these threats, such as encryption protocols, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and artificial intelligence (AI)-based security solutions. The paper concludes by discussing future directions for enhancing network security, including the integration of quantum cryptography and blockchain-based security frameworks.
