Abstract
Ad-hoc sensor networks have become common over the past few years and the domain of their application is increasing widely. However, the security of these networks poses a great challenge due to the fact that they consist of tiny wireless devices which have limited hardware and energy resources. In addition, these networks are generally deployed and then left unattended. These facts coupled together make it impractical to directly apply the traditional security mechanisms to the sensor network paradigm. Therefore, there is a need to analyze and better understand the security requirements of sensor networks. This talk provides a comprehensive taxonomy of security attacks on sensor networks, and outlines the existing solutions for each set of attacks and points out the research directions which need to be further investigated in the future.
