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.

Until now, a study on a ubiquitous sensor network has been mainly concentrated in the areas of sensor nodes, and as a results, technologies related with sensor node were greatly developed. Despite of many achievements on research and development for a sensor node, a ubiquitous sensor network may failed to establish the actual service environment because variety of restrictions. In order to provide a actual service using a ubiquitous sensor networks applied to many results on research and development for a sensor nodes, a study on a wired/wireless composite router must be carried out. However a study on a wired/wireless composite router is relatively very slow compared with the sensor node. In this study, developed a high-performance router platform supporting IPv6 that can provide high-speed wired/wireless interface and QoS, and it can provide the multimedia service Interlocking the wireless sensor network and the Internet network. To analysis a given network environment and to develop the appropriate hardware and software in accordance with this requirement.

This paper introduces balancing energy and memory consumption for lifetime increase of wireless sensor network. In cluster-based wireless sensor network, sensor nodes adjacent of cluster heads have a tendency to deplete their own battery energy and cluster heads occupy memory space significantly. If the nodes close to region where events occur frequently consume their energy and memory fully, network might be destroyed even though most of nodes are still alive. Therefore, it needs to balance network energy and memory with consideration of event occurrence probability so that network lifetime is increased. We show a method of balancing wireless sensor network energy and memory to organize cluster groups and elect cluster heads in terms of event occurrence probability.

In this paper, We propose a transaction signing-based authentication scheme for protecting sinkhole attacks in wireless sensor networks. Sinkhole attack makes packets that flow network pass through attacker. So, Sinkhole attack can be extended to various kind of attacks such as denial of service attacks, selective delivery or data tamper etc. We analyze sinkhole attack methods in directed diffusion based wireless sensor networks. For the purpose of response to attack method, Transaction signing-based authentication scheme is proposed. This scheme can work for those sensor networks which use directed diffusion based wireless sensor networks. The validity of proposed scheme is provided by BAN logic.

This paper proposes a adaptive medium-access control(MAC) protocol designed for low-power wireless multi-hop sensor networks which is used for connecting physical world and cyber computing space. Wireless multi-hop sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing device. We expect sensor networks to be deployed in an ad hoc fashion, with nodes remaining inactive for long time, but becoming suddenly active when specific event is detected. These characteristics of multi-hop sensor networks and applications motivate a MAC that is different from traditional wireless MACs about power conservation scheme, such as IEEE 802.11. Proposed MAC uses a few techniques to reduce energy consumption. Result show that proposed MAC obtains more energy savings.

Wireless sensor networks are emerging as a solution for a wide range of data gathering applications. The most difficult challenge for the design of sensor nodes is the need for significant reductions in energy consumption. The threshold methods which filter redundant and similar data can be used to save energy. In this paper, we propose the adaptive threshold method to effectively manage the energy in wireless sensor nodes. In the adaptive threshold method, wireless sensor nodes can change the thresholds dynamically as the sensing environments vary. The simulation results show that the adaptive threshold method works very effectively even when we experience the significant volatility in the data. This scheme can be used in order to monitor the malfunction in the equipment of semiconductor manufacturing line.

무선 센서네트워크는 다양한 응용 프로그램들을 위하여 주변 환경으로부터 데이터수집 또는 처리를 위하여 사용된다. 무선 센서네트워크는 저 수준 계산 능력, 제한적인 배터리 용량, 낮은 네트워크 대역폭을 기반으로 운영되므로, 무선센서 네트워크의 구조 모델은 응용 프로그램의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 응용 프로그램이 높은 계산 복잡도를 요구하거나, 실시간 처리를 필요로 하는 경우, 무선센서 네트워크의 중앙 집중 형 구조는 데이터 처리에 있어서 지연을 발생하게 되므로, 응용 프로그램의 성능 요구사항을 만족시키지 못하는 결과를 가져온다. 반면에, 응용 프로그램이 단순한 데이터 수집을 장기간 수행하는 경우, 분산 형으로 무선센서 네트워크를 구성한다면, 무선 센서들에서 불필요한 에너지 소모를 피할 수 없게 된다. 이 논문에서는 중앙집중 형 구조와 분산 형 구조에서 에너지 소모와 데이터 처리 지연을 분석, 평가한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 새로운 융합 형 구조를 제안하고 평가한다 제안된 방식은 응용 프로그램의 특성에 따라서 무선센서 네트워크에서 최적의 무선센서 노드 개수를 찾을 수 있게 한다.

사회기반시설물의 안전성을 효과적으로 평가하고 모니터링하기 위해 무선 스마트 센서가 개발되어 전 세계적으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 무선 스마트 센서는 통상 계측 및 임베디드 데이터 연산, 무선 통신이 가능한 공통점을 갖고 있어 기존의 유선 기반 센서가 가진 단점을 극복할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 그러나 구조물의 장기 모니터링의 경우 내구성이 충분하지 못해 발생하는 센서 고장이나, 환경적 이유로 인한 무선 통신이 불안정할 경우 계측 데이터를 가져올 수 없는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 무선 스마트 센서 기반의 네트워크에서 이와 같은 문제로 센서 노드에 무선 통신으로 접근할 수 없는 경우를 대처하기 위해, 칼만 필터 기반의 데이터 복구를 수행하여 무선 스마트 센서 네트워크의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 스마트 센서의 연산 기능을 활용하여 네트워크 내에서 계측된 가속도 데이터를 바탕으로 유실된 센서의 가속도 계측 데이터를 추정한다. 개발된 무선 스마트 센서 네트워크 시스템의 성능을 확인하기 위해 단순보 구조에서 실험을 수행하여 추정된 가속도 응답과 계측 값을 비교하였다.

Although the deployment of wireless sensors for structural sensing and monitoring is becoming popular, supplying power to these sensors remains as a daunting task. To address this issue, there have been large volume of ongoing energy harvesting studies that aimed to find a way to scavenge energy from surrounding ambient energy sources such as vibration, light and heat. In this study, a magnetic resonance based wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system is proposed so that sensors inside a concrete structure can be wirelessly powered by an external power source. MR-WPT system offers need-based active power transfer using an external power source, and allows wireless power transfer through 300-mm thick reinforced concrete with 21.34% and 17.29% transfer efficiency at distances of 450 mm and 500 mm, respectively. Because enough power to operate a typical wireless sensor can be instantaneously transferred using the proposed MR-WPT system, no additional energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries or supercapacitors are required inside the wireless sensor, extending the expected life-span of the sensor.
