Security in wireless sensor networks: a survey of attacks and countermeasures
by David Martins, Herve Guyennet
International Journal of Space-Based and Situated Computing (IJSSC), Vol. 1, No. 2/3, 2011

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks are specific ad hoc networks. They are characterised by their limited computing power and energy constraints. This paper proposes a study of security in this kind of network. We show the specificities and vulnerabilities of wireless sensor networks. We present a list of current attacks, which can be found in these particular networks, and how they use their vulnerabilities. Finally, we discuss different solutions made by the scientific community to secure wireless sensor networks.
