Wireless Sensor Network, Security, Denial of Service (DoS), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Authentication, Sensor, Attacks, Holistic Approach

Most of the attacks against security in wireless sensor networks are caused by the insertion of false information by the compromised nodes within the network. For defending the inclusion of false reports by compromised nodes, a means is required for detecting false reports. However, developing such a detection mechanism and making it efficient represents a great research challenge. Trust management mechanism, as an important complement for password-based system, has significant advantages for the WSN in the settlement of internal attack, identifying malicious nodes, system security and reliability improvement, and so on. Again, ensuring holistic security in wireless sensor network is a major research issue. Many of today’s proposed security schemes are based on specific network models. As there is a lack of combined effort to take a common model to ensure security for each layer, in future though the security mechanisms become well-established for each individual layer, combining all the mechanisms together for making them work in collaboration with each other will incur a hard research challenge. Even if holistic security could be ensured for wireless sensor networks, the costeffectiveness and energy efficiency to employ such mechanisms could still pose great research challenge in the coming days.
