On the Security of Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks are extremely vulnerable against any kind of internal or external attacks, due to several factors such as resource-constrained nodes and lack of tamper-resistant packages. As a result, security must be an important factor to have in mind when designing the infrastructure and protocols of sensor networks. In this paper we survey the “state-of-the-art” security issues in sensor networks and highlight the open areas of research.
