Research Advances on Security Problems of Underwater Sensor Networks

Research on underwater sensor networks (UWSN) is one of the hot research topics at present. For characteristics of UWSN, such as the severe environment, the huge propagation delay, and the limited link capacity, it suffers more security threats than conventional networks. In this paper, weakness and desired properties of UWSN are discussed, and several key aspects of the security and energy issue of UWSN are investigated.
