A Study on Security in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs present myriad application opportunities for several applications such as precision agriculture, environmental and habitat monitoring, traffic control, industrial process monitoring and control, home automation and mission critical surveillance applications such as military surveillance, healthcare elderly, home monitoring applications, disaster relief and management, fire detection applications among others. Since WSNs are used in mission critical tasks, security is an essential requirement. Sensor nodes can easily be compromised by an adversary due to unique constraints inherent in WSNs such as limited sensor node energy, limited computation and communication capabilities and the hostile deployment environments.
