SECURING INFORMATION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

Prashant Sangulagi, Mohan G

Abstract: Security in Wireless sensor Network has emerged a must required research topic for the researchers. Securing the important data without affecting its accuracy is a important task. In this paper some of the important and feasible security techniques are discussed. Some of the standard and popular encryption techniques are Digital Encryption Systems (DES) and Advanced Encryption systems (AES). Attacks considered in the WSN environment are more, some of the main type like active attacks and passive attacks. Here, attacks in WSN are discussed in details and avoidance of those attacks using encryption techniques are also discussed here. This paper also analyzes the performance of DES and AES algorithms against the attacks in WSN.

Keywords: WSN, Network Security, Attacks, Cryptography, DES, AES.
