Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are formed by deploying as large number of sensor nodes in an area for the surveillance of generally remote locations. Wireless Sensor Networks consist of a large number of pocket- sized sensors deployed in autonomous manner in the area under surveillance. These sensor networks are used in sensitive, unattended and remote environment. WSNs suffer from many constraints, including low computation capability, small memory, limited energy resources, susceptibility to physical capture, and the use of insecure wireless communication channels. These constraints make security in WSNs a challenge. This paper studies the security problems of WSN based on its resource restricted design and deployment characteristics and the security requirements for designing a secure WSN. Also, this study documents the well-known attacks at the different layers of WSN and some counter measures against those attacks.
