Wireless Sensor Networks is consisting of number of limited sensor devices which are communicated over the wireless media and it offers variety of solutions to military, healthcare and industrial applications. As sensor devices are resource restricted, the networks exposed to different types of attacks and conventional techniques against these attacks are not desirable and consequently utilizing WSNs with security services is a challenging. One severe attack, to detect and mitigate, is wormhole attack in which traffic will be forwarded from a location of network to another through the wormhole tunnel. In this paper we review WSN concepts and applications and discuss about security issues and challenges.
