چکیده
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the most employed network service in commercial and industrial applications, for the ease of its technical development in a processor, communication, and low-power usage of embedded computing devices. Sensor nodes are used for constant sensing, event ID, event detection & local control of actuators. The applications of WSN mainly include health, military, environmental, smart home technology, & other commercial areas. When deployed in hostile environmental conditions, the sensor nodes are vulnerable to physical capture and other constraints that puts security as a major challenge for the researcher’s in the field of computer networking. The inclusion of wireless communication technology also incurs various types of security threats. The intent of this paper is to investigate the security related issues and challenges in wireless sensor networks. We identify the security threats, review proposed security mechanisms for wireless sensor networks. We also discuss the holistic view of security for ensuring layered and robust security in wireless sensor networks.
