Security in Wireless Sensor Network
Yazeed Alkhurayyif · 2013
Although using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been gradually increasing for a number of years now, the design of wireless sensor networks has been criticised as the security issue has not been considered top priority; even though one of the purposes of designing networks is to gather sensitive data. This paper examines and evaluates the current levels of security in WSNs and addresses the WSN’s threats, potential attack liability, defined security requirements for WSN, analyses how TinySec and MiniSec meet the requirements. The findings from this paper provide evidence that wireless sensor networks face a number of challenging and ultimately continuing issues due to the lack of priority being given to developing effective solutions.
