They usually consist of hundreds or thousands small sensor nodes such as MICA2, which operate autonomously; conditions such as cost, invisible deployment and many application domains, lead to small size and limited resources sensors [2]. WSNs are susceptible to many types of link layer attacks [1] and most of traditional networks security techniques are unusable on WSNs [2]; due to wireless and shared nature of communication channel, untrusted transmissions, deployment in open environments, unattended nature and limited resources [1]. So, security is a vital requirement for these networks; but we have to design a proper security mechanism that attends to WSN's constraints and requirements. In this paper, we focus on security of WSNs, divide it (the WSNs security) into four categories and will consider them, include: an overview of WSNs, security in WSNs, the threat model on WSNs, a wide variety of WSNs' link layer attacks and a comparison of them. This work enables us to identify the purpose and capabilities of the attackers; also, the goal and effects of the link layer attacks on WSNs are introduced. Also, this paper discusses known approaches of security detection and defensive mechanisms against the link layer attacks; this would enable it security managers to manage the link layer attacks of WSNs more effectively.

A MetaSearch Engine (MSE) is a search system that enables MetaSearch. To perform a MetaSearch, user query is sent to multiple search engines; once the search results returned, they are received by the MSE, then merged into a single ranked list and the ranked list is presented to the user. When a query is submitted to a MSE, decisions are made with respect to the underlying search engines to be used, what modifications will be made to the query and how to score the results. These decisions are typically made by considering only the user’s keyword query, neglecting the larger information need. The cornerstone of their technology is their rank aggregation method. In other words, Result merging is a key component in a MSE. The effectiveness of a MSE is closely related to the result merging algorithm it employs. In this paper, we want to investigate a variety of result merging methods based on a wide ra...

Some of their most important problems are their limited resources, independent and autonomous operation and dynamic topology. Also, maximum of energy consumption into these networks is occurred when data transmission. In recent decade, researchers have been trying to improving the efficiency of these networks; such as improving the existent protocols and presenting new protocols, increasing the battery capacity, chip designing and radio equipment. In attention to the many applications and constraints of WSNs, designing appropriate protocols for signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) and data routing have particular importance. In sensor nodes, the radio equipment are most energy consumption part; thus, energy management and appropriate usage of radio in WSNs is necessary.

Some of their most important problems are their hard organization and management, limited resources, dynamic topology and scalability. One significant technique against to these problems is clustering. Clustering leads to more scalability, energy efficiency, prolonged network lifetime and easy management of large-scale WSNs. As a result, this paper is focused on WSNs' clustering and it be represented a new centralized clustering algorithm for homogenous and large-scale WSNs. The proposed clustering algorithm is based on calculating distances between sensor nodes, Distance Average (DA) between each node and other nodes, finding distance average range, dividing it into K sub-range and selecting associated nodes of each sub-range. The proposed algorithm using of the WSN's sensor nodes deployment location coordinates. Also, all of these calculatio...

This paper discusses different topics including presenting some strategies against IDSs to passing from them; this leads to improving detection level and performance of IDS; also, this paper considers some intrusion tools, new attacks patterns and tracking prevention techniques. In addition, it discusses vulnerabilities, security holes and IDSs' structural and systemic problems to eliminating defects, reducing penetrates and correcting their behavior. Finally, it leads to increasing the functionality coefficient of IDSs, promoting the security level of computer systems and networks, increasing the trust of authorized users. So, the proposed methods in this paper can apply to improving the IDSs by using inverse engineering methods.
