Attacks on Wireless Sensor Network: A Survey

Security is a crucial service in wireless sensor ne tworks that is becoming increasingly common in WSNs because wireless sensor nodes are typically deployed in an unattende d environment, leaving them open to possible hostile network attack. Because wireless sensor nodes are limited i n computing power, data storage and communication capabilities, any user authentication protocol must be designed to operate efficiently in a resource constrained en vironment. With a widespread growth in the potential applicati ons of WSN, the need for reliable security mechanisms for them has increased manifold. Security protocols in WSNs, unlike the traditional mechanisms, need special efforts and is sues to be addressed. The set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, we focus on attacks on Wireless Sensor Net work in this paper.
