Study on Vulnerabilities, Attack and Security Controls on Wireless Sensor Networks

In this fast evolving world of technology where security plays a major role, the threats to security is also increasing rapidly. The world aims to go wireless in all the fields, and the wireless sensor networks is also one such major field. The sensors which can sense its environment based on the functions allocated. It retrieves the data of its surrounding and sends it to the authorized location for further analysis. But as technology grows, the attacks on the system also increases due to the vulnerabilities in the system. Hence security plays a major role in the evolution of technology. This paper mainly concentrates on the vulnerabilities, the attacks possible due to vulnerabilities in the system and the counter measures to be taken to overcome the vulnerabilities. Dr. C.
