OSI Layer Wise Security Analysis of Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The security in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a critical issue due to the inherent limitations of computational capacity and power usage. While a variety of security techniques are being developed and a lot of research is going on in security field at a brisk pace but the fields lacks a common integrated platform which provides a comprehensive comparison of the seemingly unconnected but linked issues. In this paper, we have tried to analyze some attacks and their possible countermeasures in OSI layered manner.
