contents	In modern smart systems, the convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless of Things (WoT) have been revolutionized by offering a broad level of wireless connectivity and communication among various devices. Hitherto, this greater interconnectivity poses important security problems, including the question of how to securely interconnect different networks, preserve secure communication channels, and maintain data integrity. However, the traditional cryptographic method and frequency hopping technique, although they provide some protection, are not sufficient to defend against Man-In-The-Middle, jamming, and replay attacks. In addition, synchronization issues in multi-channel communication systems result in increased latency and energy consumption, which make them unsuitable for resource-constrained IoT and WoT devices. This work presents the Multi-Channel Secure Communication (MCSC) framework, which integrates advanced cryptographic protocols with dynamic channel-hopping strategies to enhance security with reduced synchronization overhead. The MCSC framework maximizes the critical performance metrics, such as packet delivery ratio, latency, throughput, and energy efficiency, and fulfills the specific requirements of the IoT and WoT networks. A comprehensive comparison of MCSC with well-established methods, including Frequency Hop Spread Spectrum, single channel Advanced Encryption Standard, and various Elliptic Curve Cryptography-based schemes, indicates that MCSC has lower error rates and is more resilient to a wider range of cyber attacks. The efficiency of the proposed solution to secure IoT and WoT networks without compromising the operational performance is validated under various interference conditions.
