“…As we already know that underwater speed of acoustical signals is 1.5 × 10 3 (m/s) and having propagation delay of 5 times more, when compared with the terrestrial radio frequency (RF) communication [53]. This high propagation delay in UWSNs is basically the combination of different factors, i.e., attenuation due to reflection/refraction of the acoustical signals from unpredicted seabed and the surface of water [55]. Temperature also plays an important role in making the propagation delays unpredictable/variable.…”

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have become highly efficient in performing different operations in oceanic environments. Compared to terrestrial wireless sensor networks (TWSNs), MAC and routing protocols in UWSNs are prone to low bandwidth, low throughput, high energy consumption, and high propagation delay. UWSNs are located remotely and do not need to operate with any human involvement. In UWSNs, the majority of sensor batteries have limited energy and very difficult to replace. The uneven use of energy resources is one of the main problems for UWSNs, which reduce the lifetime of the network. Therefore, an energy-efficient MAC and routing techniques are required to address the aforementioned challenges. Several important research projects have been tried to realize this objective by designing energy-efficient MAC and routing protocols to improve efficient data packet routing from Tx anchor node to sensor Rx node. In this article, we concentrate on discussing about different energy-efficient MAC and routing protocols which are presently accessible for UWSNs, categorize both MAC and routing protocols with a new taxonomy, as well as provide a comparative discussion. Finally, we conclude by presenting various current problems and research difficulties for future research.

the importance of these applications recently, there has been considerable interest in research analysis and improvement of UWSNs. The main reason for studying these networks is that they can enhance the ocean reconnoitering and meet the needs of multiple underwater applications [1][2][3][4]. UWSNs have protruded to be a master type of system for ocean exploration and vision where underwater sensor networks are used in the detection of underwater oil fields as well as identification of

“…The UWSN is the most effective method of monitoring the marine environment. In principle, the UWSN is a wireless communication network comprised of tens or hundreds of battery-powered sensor nodes [ 2 ]. Unlike wireless connections between ground sensors, the underwater channel has a high latency and low bandwidth, which uses a lot of power.…”

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have emerged as the most widely used wireless network infrastructure in many applications. Sensing nodes are frequently deployed in hostile aquatic environments in order to collect data on resources that are severely limited in terms of transmission time and bandwidth. Since underwater information is very sensitive and unique, the authentication of users is very important to access the data and information. UWSNs have unique communication and computation needs that are not met by the existing digital signature techniques. As a result, a lightweight signature scheme is required to meet the communication and computation requirements. In this research, we present a Certificateless Online/Offline Signature (COOS) mechanism for UWSNs. The proposed scheme is based on the concept of a hyperelliptic curves cryptosystem, which offers the same degree of security as RSA, bilinear pairing, and elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) but with a smaller key size. In addition, the proposed scheme was proven secure in the random oracle model under the hyperelliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. A security analysis was also carried out, as well as comparisons with appropriate current online/offline signature schemes. The comparison demonstrated that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing schemes in terms of both security and efficiency. Additionally, we also employed the fuzzy-based Evaluation-based Distance from Average Solutions (EDAS) technique to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
