Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a rising knowledge that shows great secure for various modern Application. The sensing technology combined with processing power and wireless Communication makes it useful for being exploited in large amount in future. The introduction of wireless communication Technology also invites various types of security threats. The aim of this paper is to study the security related issues and challenges in wireless sensor networks. We identify the security threats; we also discuss the holistic view of Security for ensuring layered and robust security in wireless sensor networks. Due to inbuilt limitations in wireless sensor networks, security is a very important issue. While research in WSN security is progressing at great rate; no inclusive document lists the security issues and the threat models which create unique threats to the wireless sensor networks. In this paper we have made an effort to document all the known security issues in wireless sensor networks and have provided the research direction towards countermeasures against the threats created by these issues.
