Review of Security Attacks and Issues in Wireless Sensor Network (original) (raw)

Wireless sensor network is one of the most growing technology for sensing and performing the different tasks. Such networks are beneficial in many fields, such as emergencies, health monitoring, environmental control, military, industries and these networks prone to malicious users' and physical attacks due to radio range of network, untrusted transmission, unattended nature and get access easily. Security is a fundamental requirement for these networks. In this paper, our center of attention is on physical attacks and issues in wireless sensor networks. Through this review, easily identify the purpose and capabilities of the attackers. Further, we discuss well-known approaches of security detection against physical attacks.
