Security in WSN

The document outlines the necessity of security in data management, emphasizing confidentiality, integrity, freshness, availability, and authentication. It addresses security challenges in ad-hoc networks, including vulnerabilities in channels and nodes, as well as dynamic topology issues. Proposed solutions include a model based on a trusted third party, secure aware protocols for blackhole attacks, and packet leashes for wormhole attacks.

Why Security Required?

Data confidentiality: keep data secret


Data integrity: prevent data from being altered
Data freshness: data must be recent

. Data availability: data should be available on request


Data authentication: confirmation that data or request
came from a specific, valid sender

Security in Ad-Hoc Networks 6

Security Challenges
Vulnerability of channels
Messages can be overheard and fake messages can be introduced into the
network

Vulnerability of nodes
Nodes do not usually reside in physically protected places
Lack of infrastructure
Special networks should operate independently of any fixed infrastructure.

Dynamic Topology
The permanent changes of topology require sophisticated routing protocols
