Implementation and Simulation of Security Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)

Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) represent an emergent technology in many fields and various types of applications that require high security in order to avoid several of attacks, which make them vulnerable and disrupt the proper functioning of the network. One of the weaknesses of wireless sensor networks is the resources limitation, which constrains security and energy efficiency. In this research work, we interested to study some security protocols in order to propose a suitable solution to this type of networks. For the evaluation of these protocols, we depending in the simulation in terms of: required memory, execution time and the energy consumption by using TOSSIM and Avrora simulator.
