AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF SECURITY THREATS IN WSN

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are majorly installed for the purpose of monitoring and collection of from the environment. Almost each security protocols existing for wireless security networks are susceptible to the security breach as attacker may get dominance over the sensor node by unmediated physical access. The sensor networks have posed many challenges to the researcher as it appears to be one of the prominent technologies in the future. These network usually consists a substantial number of small sensor nodes that runs independently and in certain instances, without having direct access to renewable energy resources. What's more, security being one of the most sensitive and crucial aspect to the acknowledgment and utilize of sensor systems for almost every applications; additionally unique arrangement of complications in sensor systems exist. This study will focus mainly on the security concerns of in wireless sensor networks.
