Establishing an Integrated Secure Wireless Sensor Network System: A New Approach

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are gaining a lot of popularity these days due to their application in a number of areas. WSN’s provide an easily implementable and cheaper solution for many real world problems like data gathering, surveillance, monitoring and control etc. However they are also used in a number of applications where security is a prime concern like military operations or other sensitive projects, whereby if the network is compromised then the outcomes can be disastrous. A lot of security schemes have been proposed which address different layers of protocol stack but none of them are fully integrated. In this paper a new approach is presented to establish a secure wireless sensor network. The proposed integrated approach addresses concerns like energy, and various security parameters like authenticity, confidentiality, integrity and requires lesser processing power.
