“…However, the security problem that may exist in WSNs has been ignored. In fact, WSNs have faced series of security problems, such as information stealing and modification, DOS attacks and so on [17], [18]. These problems disturb the normal information transmission, and even lead to the disclosure of confidential information.…”

“…In the literatures, most of the researches on the security of sensor networks focused on the upper layer of OSI model. For example, to prevent WSNs from eavesdropping, cryptographic technology was utilized in [17]; To guard against traffic analysis attacks, packet transmission rate was controlled in [18]. However, these solutions based on the upper layers will bring a large amount of running and storage overhead, which is not adaptable to WSNs due to the energy, memory and other limitations on sensor nodes.…”

With the growing concerns about energy saving and security problems in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), we investigated a joint energy saving scheduling and secure routing algorithm for critical event reporting in WSN. When a critical event has been detected, the notification must be safely sent to the sink node through the uplink transmission, and the sink node needs to broadcast the alarm messages to the whole network through the downlink transmission. In the uplink, a joint power allocation and secure routing strategy (JPASR) has been proposed to maximize the routing secure connection probability (RSCP) under the constraint of power. Meanwhile, combined with the level-by-level sleeping scheduling method, the energysaving and secure uplink transmission can be guaranteed. In the downlink, an energy-first multi-point relays set selection mechanism (EFMSS) is designed to choose the backbone nodes to broadcast messages, and the backbone nodes are waken up by the same level-by-level sleeping scheduling method as the uplink transmission. With the two-step procedure, the critical events are appropriately dealt with and the responses are broadcast to the whole network. Extensive simulations results demonstrate that the energy saving and security performances of the proposed method are superior to the existing ones.

In recent two years, information systems have been adopted in most fields of life due to the health state around the world. At the same time, the risk factor of security attacks is increased sharply as well. These attacks consider different actions toward damaging the data of systems or even making down their work. In this paper, a study of cyber-threats (attacks) on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is presented. This study illustrates the effects of the cyber-threats on the WSN according to the network layers, as well as their privacy concerns. The outcome of this study is the classification of these attacks that can lead to produce cyber-security systems which can prevent them from damaging the involved information systems.
