With the advances in technology, there has been an increasing interest from researchers and industrial institutions in the use of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). Constrained by the open acoustic channel, harsh underwater environment, and their own particularities, UWSNs are vulnerable to a wide class of security threats and malicious attacks. However, most existing research into UWSNs has not taken security into consideration. Moreover, the existing relatively mature security mechanisms for WSNs cannot be directly utilized in UWSNs. For these reasons, this article aims to present a comprehensive overview of the particularities, constraints, attacks, challenges and current security mechanisms of UWSNs. In addition, challenging, open and hot research topics are outlined.

In this paper, we briefly describe an underwater media access control protocol based on the request to send/clear to send mechanism with security algorithms, which is proposed to provide data confidentiality, authenticity, and replay attack protection. The protocol includes the counter with cipher block chaining-message authentication code (CBC-MAC) for underwater (CCM-UW) mode that is the modified form of the counter with CBC-MAC (CCM*) mode for underwater acoustic communication, based on the advanced encryption standard/agency, research and institute, academy block cipher algorithm. CCM-UW security mechanism is suitable for underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) and offers six different security levels with different security strength, energy & Soo-Hyun Park consumption and transmission time. The results in the paper show that the protocol is not impracticable for UWASNs since it is energy efficient and saves transmission time.Keywords CCM-UW (counter with CBC-MAC for underwater) Á CCM* (counter with CBC-MAC) Á Media access control (MAC) Á RTS (request to send) Á CTS (clear to send) Á UWASNs (underwater acoustic sensor networks) Á AES (advanced encryption standard) Á ARIA (agency, research and institute, academy)

SUMMARY Software-defined networking (SDN) is recognized as the next-generation networking paradigm. The software-defined architecture for underwater acoustic sensor networks (SDUASNs) has become a hot topic. However, the current researches on SDUASNs is still in its infancy, which mainly focuses on network architecture, data transmission and routing. There exists some shortcomings that the scale of the SDUASNs is difficult to expand, and the security maintenance is seldom dabble. Therefore, a scalable software-definition architecture for underwater acoustic sensor networks (SSDUASNs) is introduced in this paper. It realizes an organic combination of the knowledge level, control level, and data level. The new nodes can easily access the network, which could be conducive to large-scale deployment. Then, the basic security authentication mechanism called BSAM is designed based on our architecture. In order to reflect the advantages of flexible and programmable in SSDUASNs, security authentication mechanism with pre-push (SAM-PP) is proposed in the further. In the current UASNs, nodes authentication protocol is inefficient as high consumption and long delay. In addition, it is difficult to adapt to the dynamic environment. The two mechanisms can effectively solve these problems. Compared to some existing schemes, BSAM and SAM-PP can effectively distinguish between legal nodes and malicious nodes, save the storage space of nodes greatly, and improve the efficiency of network operation. Moreover, SAM-PP has a further advantage in reducing the authentication delay.
