[EN] There are several types of security threats that can give rise to vulnerability issues and performance degradation for the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The existing protocols that incorporate security features for authentication, key management, and secure routing, have not able to protect the WSN, effectively but a new Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can overcome these problems. The IDS collects data for analysis in order to identify any abnormal behaviour at the sensor nodes, which if present, could indicate an attack on the network. Many different intrusion detection systems for wireless sensor networks have been proposed in the past years. This paper focuses on the security requirements, layering-based attacks, and intrusion detection in WSN.
