摘要：This review work present a gist of security issues related to the WSN network and discussesdifferent types of attacks in the network. Sensor nodes, when deployed to form a network of wirelesssensors operating under the control of central authority, namely the base station, are capable ofpresenting interesting applications due to their ability to be deployed ubiquitously in hostile andubiquitous environments. But for the same reasons, security becomes a major concern for these networks.The purpose of this paper is to analyze threats to wireless sensor networks and to identify variousresearch efforts to investigate various routing attacks targeting the network layer. A particularlydevastating attack is the Wormhole attack, a denial of service attack, where attackers create a low latencylink between two points of network. By studying existing Wormhole detection methods, researchers areidentifying and delineating key search challenges for detecting wormhole attacks in the network layer.
