SECURITY ATTACKS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Wireless Sens or Networks (WSN) is an emerging technology now - a - days and has a wide range of applications such as battlefield surveillance, traffic surveillance, forest fire detection, flood detection etc. But wireless sensor networks are susceptible to a variety of pot ential attacks which obstructs the normal operation of the network. The wireless sensor network nature of communication is unprotected and unsafe because of deployment in hostile environment, limited resources, an automated nature and untrusted broadcast t ransmission media. The most of security techniques are not sufficient in WSN network and security is a vital requirement for network. The intent of this paper is to investigate the security related issues, attacks and Challenges. The introductory sectio n gives brief information on the WSN components and its architecture. Then it deals with some of the major security issues and challenges over wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology that shows great assure for various futuristic applications both for public and military. Many researchers tried to develop further cost and energy efficient computing devices and algorithms for WSN but the most challenging is to fit the security of WSN into that strained environment. However, security is crucial to the success of applying WSN. So it becomes essential to be familiar with the security aspects of WSN before designing WSN system. When sensor networks are deployed in an aggressive terrain, security becomes extremely important, as they are prone to different types of despite attacks. The intent of this paper is to investigate security problems and various security requirements. We identify the attacks at all the layers of WSN network architecture and also tried to find their possible solution.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the network of the future. As it gradually gains ground by transforming our lives and environments into a Smart World, it will definitely call for attention from selfish minded Attackers. The first section of this paper introduces the Wireless Sensor Network, its constraints, architecture, and mode of operation. It goes ahead to discuss the applications of WSN in health, agriculture, military, transportation, environment, industries. However, WSN automatically inherits the security challenges of the traditional network. The Network security goals which are Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, and Authentication sometimes called the CIA of Network security is discussed with respect to WSN. This is followed by the security challenges of WSN, these challenges are categorized into two (2), Passive and Active Attacks, Passive attack is interested in the message, data or information that traverses the network without hindering the network channel or m...

Wireless sensor network is the most growing technology for sensing and performing the different tasks. With the beginning of the internet, security has become a major concern and the history of security allows a better understanding of the emergence of security technology. The intent of this paper is to consider the protection correlated issues and incitements in wireless sensor networks. We identify the security threats, appraisal anticipated security mechanisms for wireless sensor networks. The inclusion of wireless communication technology also incurs various types of security threats due to non consideration installation of sensor nodes as sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and operate in hostile unattended environments.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) has becomes the research area in today’s worlds due to the huge number of application taking the advantage from it. Sensors are small device having memory, power and processing chip that makes it processing device. Due to its dominant nature it is used in battlefields and commercial applications such as building, traffic surveillance, habitat monitoring and smart homes and many more scenarios. Main motive behinds this paper is to introduce different types of attacks encounters during transmission or communication over the wireless sensor network and provides some ideas to overcome from these attacks. Here, we introduce security mechanisms like cryptographic key, authentication and challenges in wireless sensor network. The power computation and unsecure communication is main challenging area of wireless sensor network

Wireless sensor network is one of the most growing technology for sensing and performing the different tasks. Such networks are beneficial in many fields, such as emergencies, health monitoring, environmental control, military, industries and these networks prone to malicious users' and physical attacks due to radio range of network, untrusted transmission, unattended nature and get access easily. Security is a fundamental requirement for these networks. In this paper, our center of attention is on physical attacks and issues in wireless sensor networks. Through this review, easily identify the purpose and capabilities of the attackers. Further, we discuss well-known approaches of security detection against physical attacks.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are regularly self-forming, Self-healing networks that interact with very sensitive data and deployed in hostile unattended environments, where the security issues should be focused to attain their potential.Due to this various facts the existing security algorithms are not suitable for current applications. This causes the research to suggest the novel security mechanisms appropriate to WSN which contains minimum resource consumption and maximum security. This paper lights a torch on security of WSN discusses typical constraints, security goals, and different attacks in it and their defensive techniques.
