Popis: Wireless sensor network (WSN) is among the latest technologies that promise an emerging future in diverse fields due to its unique capabilities which are to monitor and gather data from different environments by sensors deployed at remote locations. A secure network is a vital necessity of every application. Securing the sensor network that is wirelessly connected becomes an immensely demanding affair because of the limited resources it possesses. The functionality of such networks can be influenced by numerous security threats. In this review paper, a brief description about various security requirements and constraints in a WSN is discussed along with the types of attacks in different layers. Focus is also given on the strengths and limitations of some popular WSN security protocols to enable application designers to choose the appropriate protocol for their applications.
