    Journal of Intelligent Systems and Internet of Things, 2025
    Wireless sensor networks have become a vital component of the infrastructure for many modern applications. With the increasing use of wireless sensor networks, the challenges facing these networks in the field of security are escalating and growing, and with the rapid advancement of wireless communication technology, these networks are exposed to increasing, complex and continuous threats. Our research is characterized by innovation in the field of security technology to enhance protection, repel attacks and detect intrusions, among these innovations are intrusion detection systems based on machine learning as a creative and new solution. In this research, we highlight the effectiveness of different machine learning algorithms, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, in detecting anomalies and intrusions within wireless sensor networks, as our goal focuses on enhancing the security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by adopting intrusion detection systems (IDS) based on machine learning techniques. In this context, with a focus on using the WSN-DS dataset. The results of this research showed that machine-learning models could improve the security efficiency of wireless sensor networks by achieving accuracy ranging from 91% to 99.7% and testing time ranging from 0.006 to 0.1249, which enhances the ability to effectively retrieve and detect threats in real time.
  • Prompt Engineering: Unleashing the Power of Large Language Models to Defend Against Social Engineering Attacks
    Prof. Bashar M Nema, Ahmed I Nezer, Wisam Makki Salim
    Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics, 2024
    Prompt Engineering is an emerging area of study that pertains to the act of conceptualizing, perfecting, and executing prompts that guide an AI model to an intended purpose. The AI model is an LLM, which they are the “hit” of our time and probably the controversial type of AI. They are capable of executing several tasks using natural language processing algorithms. Due to their ease of use and fast development, they are becoming highly dependent. We found that to interact correctly with these models and gain the best performance, several techniques should be taken into consideration. Moreover, there are additional methods or tips to write a good prompt.
