Wireless sensor networks are a new type of networked systems, characterized by every constrained computational and energy resources, and an ad hoc operational environment Network security to Wireless Sensor Networks is a very essential requirement because they are easily susceptible to many threats like Denial-of-Service attacks [15]. The most important security services required are confidentiality and authentication. Many researchers have tried to provide security by using only symmetric key mechanisms thinking that public key cryptosystems are not feasible to implement in these networks because they are constrained with less resources. This paper studies the security aspects of these networks. The paper first introduces sensor networks, and then presents its related security problems, threats, risks and characteristics.
