As wireless sensor networks continue to grow, so does the need for effective security mechanisms. Because sensor networks may interact with sensitive data and/or operate in hostile unattended environments, it is imperative that these security concerns be addressed from the beginning of the system design. However, due to inherent resource and computing constraints, security in sensor networks poses different challenges than traditional network/computer security. There is currently enormous…

TLDR
A lightweight ID system, called LIDeA, is developed, which follows an intelligent agent-based architecture, and it is demonstrated how such a system can be implemented, which components and interfaces are needed, and what is the resulting overhead imposed.
Authentication in Wireless Sensor Networks
TLDR
Wireless Sensor Networking is a developing field of research that presents analysts with testing objectives under tight outline imperatives, since current security instruments are excessively asset serious as far as power, memory and preparing capacities of sensor organize hubs.
Lightweight, Distributed Access Control for Wireless Sensor Networks Supporting Mobility
TLDR
This article describes the development of a novel access control system for WSN based on a distributed threshold scheme that gives support for mobility and limits the needed communication and consequent energy drain, which is a fundamental parameter for the lifetime of WSN.
An Energy-Efficient and Secure Hybrid Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks Using a Mobile Data
TLDR
A new hybrid algorithm for security, which incorporates both distributed and hierarchal approaches, is proposed to save energy of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) as these sensor nodes have limited energy.
