Security Solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper describes secure solutions for collecting and processing data in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to provide useful information based on sensed data. WSNs have large potential in areas which range from agriculture to traffic safety and security in public places, generating new opportunities for industry. Adequate security capabilities for medium and large scale WSNs are a hard but necessary goal to achieve to prepare these networks for the market. In addition, a framework is needed to be able to develop sensor networks for various application domains. The paper introduces a toolbox concept to support such a framework. It also includes an overview on security and reliability challenges for wireless sensor networks
