Abstract

Wireless sensor networks have become one of the widely deployed networking technologies in the recent times due to the capabilities and advantages of them. The applications of wireless sensor networks include many civilian and industrial applications to military applications. Due to the distributed nature of these networks, deployment in remote and open areas and many constraints in individual nodes, these networks are vulnerable to several security threats. Many security mechanisms and algorithms proposed for the implementation in the traditional networks cannot be implemented in wireless sensor networks due to the unique nature of these networks and nodes. Many active research programmes have been carried out throughout the world for making wireless sensor networks more secure and user friendly. This chapter takes an in-depth look at some of the prominent mechanisms, schemes, algorithms and protocols published in the literature.
