Sensor networks are composed of provide low powered, inexpensive distributed devices which can be deployed over enormous physical spaces. Coordination between sensor devices is required to achieve a common communication. In low cost, low power and short-range wireless environment, sensor networks cope with significant resource constraints. Security is one of main issues in wireless sensor networks because of potential adversaries. Several security protocols and models have been implemented for communication on computing devices but deployment these models and protocols into the sensor networks is not easy because of the resource constraints mentioned. Memory intensive encryption algorithms as well as high volume of packet transmission cannot be applied to sensor devices due to its low computational speed and memory. Deployment of sensor networks without security mechanism makes sensor nodes vulnerable to potential attacks. Therefore, attackers compromise the network to accept malicious sensor nodes as legitimate nodes. This paper provides the different security models as a metric, which can then be used to make pertinent security decisions for securing wireless sensor network communication.

With the advent of ubiquitous computing society, many advanced technologies have enabled wireless sensor networks which consist of small sensor nodes. However, the sensor nodes have limited computing resources such as small size memory, low battery life, short transmission range, and low computational capabilities. Thus, decreasing energy consumption is one of the most significant issues in wireless sensor networks. In addition, numerous applications for wireless sensor networks are recently spreading to various fields (health-care, surveillance, location tracking, unmanned monitoring, nuclear reactor control, crop harvesting control, u-city, building automation etc.). For many of them, supporting security functionalities is an indispensable feature. Especially in case wireless sensor networks should provide a sufficient variety of security functions, sensor nodes are required to have more powerful performance and more energy demanding features. In other words, simultaneously providing security features and saving energy faces a trade-off problem. This paper presents a novel energy-efficient security architecture in an IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless sensor network called the Hybrid Adaptive Security (HAS) framework in order to resolve the trade off issue between security and energy. Moreover, we present a performance analysis based on the experimental results and a real implementation model in order to verify the proposed approach.

Advances in electronics and wireless communication technologies have enabled the development of large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There are numerous applications for wireless sensor networks, and security is vital for many of them. However, WSNs suffer from many constraints, including low computation capability, small memory, limited energy resources, susceptibility to physical capture, and the lack of infrastructure, all of which impose unique security challenges and make innovative approaches desirable. In this paper, we present a survey on security issues in wireless sensor networks. We address several network models for security protocols in WSNs, and explore the state of the art in research on the key distribution and management schemes, typical attacks and corresponding countermeasures, entity and message authentication protocols, security data aggregation, and privacy. In addition, we discuss some directions of future work.

The wireless sensor network consists of a number of sensor nodes which have physical constraints. Each sensor node senses surrounding environments and sends the sensed information to Sink. The inherent vulnerability in security of the sensor nodes has promoted the needs for the lightweight security protocol. In this paper, we propose a non-hierarchical sensor network and a security protocol that is suitable for monitoring the man-made objects such as bridges. Furthermore, we present the efficient way of setting the routing path by storing IDs, MAC(message authentication code) and the location information of the nodes, and taking advantage of the two node states, Sleep and Awake. This also will result in the reduced energy consuming rate.

Ubiquitous sensor network is to manage and collect information autonomously by communicating user around device. Security requirements in Ubiquitous based on sensor network are as follows: a location of sensor, a restriction of performance by low electric power, communication by broadcasting, etc. We propose new mutual authentication protocol using a low power of sensor node. This protocol solved a low power problem by reducing calculation overload of sensor node using two steps, RM(Register Manager) and AM(Authentication Manager). Many operations performing the sensor node itself have a big overload in low power node. Our protocol reduces the operation number from sensor node. Also it is mutual authentication protocol in Ubiquitous network, which satisfies mutual authentication, session key establishment, user and device authentication, MITM attack, confidentiality, integrity, and is safe the security enemy with solving low electric power problem.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅은 사용자에게 장소와 시간에 제약이 없이 자유롭게 네트워크에 접속 할 수 있는 환경을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 환경은 모든 정보의 공유 및 접근이 쉽게 이루어지는 반면, 인가되지 않은 사용자의 불법적인 접근도 쉽게 이루어질 수 있기 때문에 적합한 보안 정책이 필요하다. 특히 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들은 제한된 전력을 이용하고 하드웨어적으로 작은 크기를 유지해야 하기 때문에 보안 정책 수립에 많은 제한이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 센서의 운영체제와 플랫폼, 라우팅 방식에 종속적이지 않은 더블키를 이용한 경량 보안 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 더블키 방식을 제안하여 인증과 안전한 키 분배 및 교체가 이루어 질 수 있도록 한다. 보안 관리자가 네트워크 상황에 맞는 보안 레벨 변경 및 키 교체, 관리가 가능하기 때문에 적은 연산 처리만으로 최대의 보안 효과를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 성능 평가 결과 제안한 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 더블키를 이용한 경량 보안 프로토콜은 기존의 보안 정책 보다 상대적으로 저전력으로 보안 정책을 활용 할 수 있었다. 제안한 더블키를 이용한 경량 보안 프로토콜은 스마트 오피스 및 스마트 홈과 같은 실제 환경의 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에 적합하다고 할 수 있다.

Security has become a major concern for many real world applications for wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this domain, many security solutions have been proposed. Usually, all these approaches are based on wellknown cryptographic algorithms. At the same time, performance studies have shown that the applicability of sensor networks strongly depends on effective routing decisions or energy aware wireless communication. In this paper, we analyses vulnerability and security mechanisms in wireless sensor networks.
