In these, sensor nodes are buried underground or in a cave or mine that monitors the underground conditions. Sink nodes are deployed above the ground to forward the gathered information from the sensor nodes to the base station. These are more expensive than the terrestrial sensor networks because proper nodes are to be selected that can assure reliable communication through soil, rock, water and other mineral contents. [2]

2018

Our civilization has entered an era of big data networking. Massive amounts of data is being converted into bits for transmitting over the Internet and shared all over the world every second. The concept of “smart” devices has conquered preconceived notions of daily routines. Smartphones and wearable device technologies have made humans to be continuously interconnected, making distance a factor of no limitation. “Smart” systems are based on a single concept called the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a web of wirelessly networked devices embedded with electronic components and sensors that monitors physical and environmental conditions and acquires data to be shared with other systems. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combination of hardware and software network that uses a system of sensors to detect physical phenomena. WSN is being widely used in industrial and consumer applications. Privacy is a key factor of WSN, it is imperative to secure data that is used, transmitted, or s...

Muhammad Habib

Communications and Network, 2015

The confluence of cheap wireless communication, sensing and computation has produced a new group of smart devices and by using thousands of these kind of devices in self-organizing networks has formed a new technology that is called wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs use sensor nodes that placed in open areas or in public places and with a huge number that creates many problems for the researchers and network designer, for giving an appropriate design for the wireless network. The problems are security, routing of data and processing of large amount of data etc. This paper describes the types of WSNs and the possible solutions for tackling the listed problems and solution of many other problems. This paper will deliver the knowledge about the WSN and types with literature review so that a person can get more knowledge about this emerging field.

Abdullah Al Mamun

Wireless sensor networks are used in many fields such as military, hospitals, environment monitoring and so on. The nodes used in these networks are resource limited that use open public channels to communicate with each other. Due to this reason these networks are highly susceptible to attacks. In this survey we have identify the security issues and challenges in these networks. We also describe basic security fundamental techniques and their feasibility in WSNs. The basic security requirements of these networks are also discussed in detail. The paper includes classification of almost every kind of attack that can occur on these networks and security schemes and algorithms in correspondence with such attacks.

— Wireless sensor networks have become a growing area of research and become more practicable solution to many challenging applications. Wireless Sensor Network is emerging technology with their limited energy and communication capabilities.WSN provides security and is particularly challenging and its mechanisms are also being the greatest concern to deploy sensor network and monitoring the real world application. The problem of security is due to the wireless nature of the sensor networks. Furthermore, wireless sensor networks have an additional vulnerability because nodes are often placed in a dangerous environment where they are not physically protected. The inclusion of wireless communication technology also incurs various types of security threats.

A data network is a digital telecommunications network that allows nodes to share resources. Two types of networks are available, wired and wireless networks. Wireless networks become popular because of its wireless setup and its abundant applications in home, business and telecommunications networking. With the invent of sensor which react and notice some type of input from the physical or environmental conditions, such as pressure, temperature, beam, Wireless sensor network developed. The WSN are stretchy, simple to employ and straight forward. They are growing because of low cost and efficient. Wireless Sensor Networks consist of many sensor nodes that are distributed in a field and have physical capabilities to measure or sense things in the real world, do some computations, communicate with each other and deliver result to base station. With the rising expertise, the things on security are also advancing day by day. Though the network completely secured during the time of designing, intruders and attackers always find their way to get inside it and accomplish attacks. This paper presents a noteworthy analysis on the security threats of wireless sensor network. Threats are of two types active and passive attacks. Passive attacks are just listening the communication lines, whereas active attacks are modifying the data in communication lines. Different threats belonging to active and passive threats are studied in detail.
