Security Solution for WSN Using Mobile Agent Technology

摘要

Wireless sensor network ( WSN) have diverse field of application, but it is very much prone to the security threats. The different types of security attack which limits its application in various unsecure enviro nments are sink Hole Attack, Sybilattack, wormhole attack, node replication attack etc. Any security measures need to provide four basic requirements that are Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication and Availability (CIAA). This paper focuses on the study of security threats to the WSNand based on that threats paper proposes a novel security solution using a mobile agent technology. The mobile agent-based technique allows WSN applications to exhibit self-healing, self-conf iguration and self-optimization and programmability properties. "One deploymentmultiple applications" is an emerging trend in the development of WSNs
