Modelling the Spread of Botnet Malware in IoT-Based Wireless Sensor Networks

Table 1

Key characteristics of IoT sensors in WSNs.

Characteristic	Description
Restricted energy	Nodes must conserve their batteries.
Restricted processing	Limited capacity due to low power.
Dense deployment [9]	High density for better coverage.
Application-specific [9]	Designed for particular sensing tasks.
Many-to-one traffic	Many nodes forward data to 1 sink.
