Wireless Sensor Network and Its Security Concerns
Rohit Kumar Tiwari, Ashok Kumar Jetawat · 2012
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used as one of the greatest vital part to collect information. The WSNs, which have speed and are simple to install and maintain, are going to survive in the real world scenario. Although in the earlier WSNs the security concerns are overlooked, but sensor networks are always used to deal with extremely sensitive content and such networks do not have much interaction with external environment while operating. In this paper first we are discussing the WSN architecture and its core element that is, Wireless sensors. Then we are emphasizing on the need for Wireless Sensors and what are the factors of consideration while selecting a wireless sensor. We also focus on discovering some major security concerns for WSN and proposed a few solutions for the same.
