Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a rising technology that points out huge promise for several future applications for military & mass public. WSN are often deployed for collecting data from unachievable or adversary environment. Various application specific sensor network data collecting based protocols have been introduced in research literatures. However, Several kind of introduced algorithms have given small consideration to the security related issues The combination of sensing technology along with processing power & wireless communication builds it fruitful to be absorbed in ampleness in future. The wireless communication technology's inclusion also receives several kinds of security threats. The purpose of this dissertation is to find out the security related issues over WSN [1]). we have discovered common security threats in WSN and build an pervasive study to extensive study to classify available data collecting protocols and examine possible security threats on them. We identify common requirements of security, security threats, intrusion system detection, target localization & key distribution schemes are introduced. In order to facilitate applications that need packet distribution from one or more senders to plenty , provisioning security in cluster interaction is shown as a terrifically & challenging aim. Introduced issues are important for futuristic wireless sensor network's implementation. The objective of this article is to find out the security issues for coming generation wireless sensor networks and discuss the vital parameters that need pervasive investigations. We have discovered common security threats in WSN and build an pervasive study to extensive study to classify available data collecting protocols and examine possible security threats on them.

Our civilization has entered an era of big data networking. Massive amounts of data is being converted into bits for transmitting over the Internet and shared all over the world every second. The concept of “smart” devices has conquered preconceived notions of daily routines. Smartphones and wearable device technologies have made humans to be continuously interconnected, making distance a factor of no limitation. “Smart” systems are based on a single concept called the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a web of wirelessly networked devices embedded with electronic components and sensors that monitors physical and environmental conditions and acquires data to be shared with other systems. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combination of hardware and software network that uses a system of sensors to detect physical phenomena. WSN is being widely used in industrial and consumer applications. Privacy is a key factor of WSN, it is imperative to secure data that is used, transmitted, or s...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a recent advanced technology of computer networks and electronics. The WSN increasingly becoming more practicable solution to many challenging applications. The sensor networks depend upon the sensed data, which may depend upon the application. One of the major applications of the sensor networks is in military. So security is the greatest concern to deploy sensor network such hostile unattended environments, monitoring real world applications. But the limitations and inherent constraints of the sensor nodes does not support the existing traditional security mechanisms in WSN. Now the present research is mainly concentrated on providing security mechanism in sensor networks. In this context, security aspects of the sensor networks like requirements, classifications, and type of attacks etc., is analyzed in this survey paper.

Wireless sensor networks are comprised of large numbers of resource-constrained and wirelessly communicating computing devices. Advances in computing and communication technology have made it possible to integrate sensing capabilities, wireless communication interfaces, and microprocessors into tiny devices that allow to embed compuational power in arbitrary environments. The applications of wireless sensor networks range from surveillance and environmental monitoring to healthcare and the provisioning of context information for computing applications. Many of these applications have a direct impact on the welfare of human beings or are of high economic significance. Security breaches might lead to grave consequences, so it is important to protect wireless sensor networks against such threats.

- In this paper, a survey on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and their technology, standards, prototype and applications was carried out. A wireless sensor network consists of thousands of inexpensive miniature devices capable of computation, communication and sensing. It provides a bridge between both the real and virtual worlds. Allow the ability to observe the previously non-observable at a fine resolution over large spatio-temporal scales. Have a wide range of potential applications to agriculture, health, transport system, disaster detection, and defence. This paper supports the difficulties of operating such sensor network in the most hostile environments. Although the measurements and analysis demonstrated that control deployment was possible to some extent.

The confluence of cheap wireless communication, sensing and computation has produced a new group of smart devices and by using thousands of these kind of devices in self-organizing networks has formed a new technology that is called wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs use sensor nodes that placed in open areas or in public places and with a huge number that creates many problems for the researchers and network designer, for giving an appropriate design for the wireless network. The problems are security, routing of data and processing of large amount of data etc. This paper describes the types of WSNs and the possible solutions for tackling the listed problems and solution of many other problems. This paper will deliver the knowledge about the WSN and types with literature review so that a person can get more knowledge about this emerging field.
