Security Attacks and Challenges of Wireless Sensor Network

Authors(1) :-Anju Bala

Wireless sensor networks is an emerging field to research and development, due to a large number of application avail benefits from such systems and has lead to the development of tiny, cheap, disposable and self contained battery powered computers, known as sensor nodes or 'motes', So the demanding and challenging part of wireless sensor network is security makes it more severe constraints than conventional networks. However, there are several types of sensor network , helps to trace the challenges to make secure network. In this paper, we investigate the security related issues and challenges in wireless sensor networks. We identify the security threats, review proposed security mechanisms for wireless sensor networks.
