ATTACKS ON WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK: A SURVEY

Abstract

Security is a crucial service in wireless sensor networks that is becoming increasingly common in WSNs because wireless sensor nodes are typically deployed in an unattended environment, leaving them open to possible hostile network attack. Because wireless sensor nodes are limited in computing power, data storage and communication capabilities, any user authentication protocol must be designed to operate efficiently in a resource constrained environment. With a widespread growth in the potential applications of WSN, the need for reliable security mechanisms for them has increased manifold. Security protocols in WSNs, unlike the traditional mechanisms, need special efforts and issues to be addressed. The set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, we focus on attacks on Wireless Sensor Network in this paper.
