This book explores five fundamental mechanisms to build secure Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
It presents security issues related to a single node which deals with the authentication and
communication confidentiality with other nodes. It also focuses on network security providing
solutions for the node capture attack and the clone attack.It examines a number of areas and
problems to which WSNs are applied continuously including: supporting rescue operations
building surveillance fire prevention battlefield monitoring and more. However known and
unknown threats still affect WSNs and in many applications of this new technology the security
of the network is a fundamental issue for confidentiality integrity authenticity and
availability. The last section of the book addresses security for a common WSN service. Case
studies are provided throughout.Secure Wireless Sensor Networks: Threats and Solutions targets
advanced-level students and researchers in computer science and electrical engineering as a
secondary text book. Professionals working in the wireless sensor networks field will also find
this book useful as a reference.
