Types of Attacks Penetrating Wireless Sensor Networks And Strategies to Overcome Them

Abstract

Like many other technologies on military and defense working on sensor networks to be started. During the Cold War, the USA’s government started to sponsor the project called Sound Surveillance System. In that project the US Army trying to intrusion detection and tracking of Soviet submarines by placing a number of sensors at the strategic points under the ocean. Working on the Sensor networks project are actively started in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of America since 1980 and via the distributed sensor networks project. Most of the Sensors are working with the chemical energy of a battery. Sensors can be used to intervene and penetrate to the networks. This article focuses on the methods of attack, and strategies of overcoming them.
