WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK SECURITY ISSUES and ATTACKS

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer numerous advantages in various applications such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure. WSNs, although beneficial in numerous applications, are vulnerable to attacks due to their distributed nature and resource constraints. Mitigating these threats requires a combination of cryptographic techniques, secure protocols, intrusion detection systems, and resilient network architectures tailored to the unique characteristics of WSNs. This study focuses on security challenges and solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) addressing vulnerabilities to ensure reliability and trust:
