I am doing a project in WSN and I have got my Arduino UNO R3 with WiFi shield. Now that I have tested the basic configurations as listed in the arduino website and all are working fine. Now I have to connect any 2 temperature sensors and make them collect the data and then feed it to a simulator ( Omnet++ Preferable) securely. I have few clarifications in this, please clarify.
- Should I Upgrade the WiFi shield ? Is it necessary?
- If I want to enable a encryption method for the sensors passing data through WiFi shield connecting to simulator running in pc/laptop , any best practices to be followed?
Your answers to my questions are appreciated.
