The wireless sensor network nature of communication is unprotected and unsafe because of deployment in hostile environment, limited resources, an automated nature and untrusted broadcast t ransmission media. The most of security techniques are not sufficient in WSN network and security is a vital requirement for network. The intent of this paper is to investigate the security related issues, attacks and Challenges. The introductory sectio n gives brief information on the WSN components and its architecture. Then it deals with some of the major security issues and challenges over wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

The security challenges and the ability to deal with them in wireless sensor network

There are wireless sensor network as a new technology today. The wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small nodes which are separately working, on several occasions continue to work without access to renewable energy sources. finally, the security is so important in acceptance or usage the sensor network with multiple applications. The wireless sensor network is so vulnerable to security attacks because of the nature of the broadcast transmitting devices, the nodes are not maintainable physically in dangerous and hostile environments. The sensor network usually has been characterized by limited energy, limited power consumption, low bandwidth and small size memory. Which all of them caused that he creating of security to be raised in requested environment. The present essay evaluated the security threats in wireless sensor networks and suggested the coping strategies with them. Keywords-Wireless sensor network, security attacks low bandwidth, the network security.

Study of Wireless Sensor Networks Security Issues and Attacks

Wireless sensor network is the interesting field which are used in various field such as motivate by military application such as battlefield surveillance. Today such network are used in many industrial and consumer application, such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring and disaster management, habitat monitoring, home automation, Systems building, traffic surveillance, smart home, mass public etc. This paper discusses Definition of WSN, its type, Architecture of WSN, attacks in WSN & Security issues.

Wireless Sensor Network and Its Security Threats -A Study

A data network is a digital telecommunications network that allows nodes to share resources. Two types of networks are available, wired and wireless networks. Wireless networks become popular because of its wireless setup and its abundant applications in home, business and telecommunications networking. With the invent of sensor which react and notice some type of input from the physical or environmental conditions, such as pressure, temperature, beam, Wireless sensor network developed. The WSN are stretchy, simple to employ and straight forward. They are growing because of low cost and efficient. Wireless Sensor Networks consist of many sensor nodes that are distributed in a field and have physical capabilities to measure or sense things in the real world, do some computations, communicate with each other and deliver result to base station. With the rising expertise, the things on security are also advancing day by day. Though the network completely secured during the time of designing, intruders and attackers always find their way to get inside it and accomplish attacks. This paper presents a noteworthy analysis on the security threats of wireless sensor network. Threats are of two types active and passive attacks. Passive attacks are just listening the communication lines, whereas active attacks are modifying the data in communication lines. Different threats belonging to active and passive threats are studied in detail.
