The dynamic advancements in smart agriculture, coupled with the integration of advanced technologies are revolutionizing the agricultural sector. This transformation is enhancing efficiency, precision, and sustainability, leading to unprecedented improvements in crop management and yield optimization. However, the proliferation of digital interfaces and interconnected systems in this domain necessitates a heightened focus on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of agricultural data. This research contributes to the advancement of secure agricultural technologies, fostering a dependable foundation for the evolution of smart agricultural practices. The work proposed a robust framework for ensuring the security of smart agriculture systems through advanced multiuser authentication and key generation techniques using Secure Elliptic Curve Cryptography (SECC). The framework’s robustness is underscored by its ability to withstand evolving cyber threats and provide a resilient foundation for safeguarding sensitive agricultural data. Additionally, it represents innovative data encryption and decryption techniques using the suggested SECC methodology. Furthermore, this work conducts a comparative analysis between the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based approach and the proposed SECC methodology in terms of enhanced performance and security. The results of this research work, highlight the substantial potential of data in agriculture to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of smart farming services. It introduces an advanced secure defense strategy providing the protection of data and operational integrity against potential cyber threats through suggested SECC techniques. Moreover, the work represents a novel prevention strategy designed to safeguard against unauthorized access control attacks in the realm of smart agriculture.
