Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network security is the important consideration of the aspect of security. Sensor networks are deployed for various applications due to their usability and cost effective nature. Designing a network is a critical part of the designer of the network while considering the security aspect. It is prone to all types of attacks by the intruders. The most important attack is sinkhole attack in WSN. This paper presents an analysis on the security issues of wireless sensor network.
