Recent advancement in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has paved the way for WSNs to enable in various environments in monitoring temperature, motion, sound, and vibration. These applications often include the detection of sensitive information from enemy movements in hostile areas or in locations of personnel in buildings. Due to characteristics of WSNs and dealing with sensitive information, wireless sensor nodes tend to be exposed to the enemy or in a hazard area, and security is a major concern in WSNs. Because WSNs pose unique challenges, traditional security techniques used in conventional networks cannot be applied directly, many researchers have developed various security protocols to fit into WSNs. To develop countermeasures of various attacks in WSNs, descriptions and analysis of current security attacks in the network layers must be developed by using a standard notation. However, there is no research paper describing and analyzing security models in WSNs by using a standard notation such as The Unified Modeling Language (UML). Using the UML helps security developers to understand security attacks and design secure WSNs. In this research, we provide standard models for security attacks by UML Sequence Diagrams to describe and analyze possible attacks in the three network layers.

An integrated security mechanism is one of the key challenges in the open wireless network architecture because of the diversity of the wireless network in open wireless network and the unique security mechanism used in each one of these networks. In the paper we analysed some elements to guarantee security and privacy preserving in distributed IT applications which provide some kind of support to complex medical domains.

In this paper, using a new low-power consumption method for ZigBee device, which consume low-power using an output power control algorithm through RSSI monitoring as interlocking wireless network using ZigBee which has advantages of a low-power consumption, a low-cost, a compatibility and a draft international standardization enacted by IEEE and ZigBee Alliance, with wired network using built coaxial cable to overcome the disadvantage of the existing wireless sensor network, is proposed. Effectiveness of the output power control algorithm through RSSI monitoring has been verified by experimentation for more optimized low-power consumption.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are becoming widely used in collecting and sensing information in different fields such as in the medical area, smart phone industry and military environment. The main concern here is reducing the power consumption because it effects in the lifetime of wireless sensor during commutation because it may be work in some environment like sensor in the battlefields where is not easy to change the battery for a node and that may decrease the efficiency of that node and that may affect the network traffic may be interrupted because one or more nodes stop working. In this paper we implement, simulate, and investigate S-MAC protocol with mobility support and show the sequence of events the sender and receiver go through. We tested some parameters and their impacts of on the performance including System throughput, number of packets successfully delivered per second, packet delay, average packet delay before successful transmission.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are rapidly emerging because of their potential applications available in military and civilian environments. Due to unattended and hostile deployment environments, shared wireless links, and inherent resource constraints, providing high level security services is challenging in WSNs. In this paper, we revisit various security attack models and analyze them by using a well-known standard notation, Unified Modeling Language (UML). We provide a set of UML collaboration diagram and sequence diagrams of attack models witnessed in different network layers: physical, data/link, network, and transport. The proposed UML-based analysis not only can facilitate understanding of attack strategies, but can also provide a deep insight into designing/developing countermeasures in WSNs.

As telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services are developed, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This may result in several security incidents unless security protocols are well prepared. In this paper, we analyzed authentication and authorization procedures for healthcare system architecture to apply secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. From the analyses, we estimate optimal requirements as a countermeasure to its vulnerabilities.

In this paper we introduce a new paradigm of physical layer security for wireless network. Existing security protocols like internet's transport layer security protocol has some security flaws that skilled hackers could exploit. Motivated from this point we introduce a new security protocol that works in physical layer which is much less vulnerable to hackers than any other higher layers. In our proposal, we incorporate the proposed security protocol within channel coding as channel coding is an essential part of wireless communication. We utilize the flexibility to choose a generator matrix (or generator polynomial) of a particular code that selects the code words as a core of our protocol. Each pair of wireless node will select a unique generator using their security key before they started to communicate with each other.

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.

Therefore, This wired and wireless integrated environment has been considering studied various, Among them wired and wireless environment considering the lightweight of ID-based authentication and key management has been in progress. In recent, Moon et al. pervasive environment in authentication and ID-based key management protocol is proposed. However, Moon et al.'s scheme is use the ID-based public-key approach to decreased the amount of computation. However, pairing by using a technique similar to the existing public key scheme can represent the amount of computation. Therefore, In this paper the way of Moon etc in security vulnerability analysis.

Sensor networks will play an important role in the next generation pervasive computing. But its characteristic of wireless communication brings a peat challenge to the security measures used in the communication protocols. These measures are different from conventional security methods. In this paper, we proposed a security architecture for self-organizing mobile wireless sensor networks. It can prevent most of attacks based on intrusion detection.
