LITERATURE SURVEY ON SECURED WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF ATTACKS

Abstract

Modern technological advancements in integrated circuit fabrication made it possible for the deployment of small, inexpensive, low-power, distributed devices to be capable  of local processing and wireless communication. Such small devices are called sensor nodes, which are capable of only a limited amount of processing. The critical goal of WSNs security is to protect the wireless sensor networks from any types of attack. The different application scenarios presented in the earlier section point out those WSNs may have very different properties. Thus, considering the generic security requirements and application scenario the algorithm is developed to secure a WSN. The major properties that made the security mechanism challenging in WSNs are resource constraints, operational environment and unreliable communication. This survey paper provides survey on different mechanisms of attacks.
