In the near future, it is likely that wireless sensor networks (WSNs) become a major technology for the sensing in different application areas. One of the main challenges in WSNs is the secure routing of data through the network. This is resulting from the fact that WSNs are normally deployed in unattended or even hostile environments. While in last few years the routing approaches were mainly focussing on metrics such as robustness, energy preservation, etc., recently, different security solutions came to the fore that were taking also the security issues in WSNs into account. In this paper, different types of attacks on the routing layer of WSNs are investigated. Subsequently, measures for secure routing; including cryptography, key establishment, trust & reputation and secure localization; are reviewed, which were proposed by researchers in this area. Based on these findings, future prospects are discussed and final conclusions will be drawn.Keywords wireless sensor networks; secure routing; WSNs IntroductionSince years, the monitoring of areas of interest is a topic of great importance for civil as well as military applications, such as emergency scenarios, manufacturing environments, battle fields etc. Due to the advances in micro-electronics, highly integrated electronics and improved energy accumulators, in the last few years, the development of sensor nodes was intensified so that the sensor nodes got smaller and smaller, while the price per sensor went down at the same time. One of the major ideas was that the sensor nodes should form a collaborative wireless network to monitor events in arbitrary environments by acting in a selfconfigurable, self-organizing ad hoc manner, i.e. without the necessity of human interaction.Due to the fact that the sensor's energy, in most cases a battery that should last for the sensor's lifetime, is strongly limited, the sensor nodes are constrained in their computational power, memory and transmission range. As a consequence, the nodes can neither perform computational intensive tasks nor deliver meaningful results by acting on their own. Therefore, the sensor nodes have to cooperate to be

“…In [21] the authors propose a group-based trust management system called GTMS where the nodes of a sensor network falls into trusted, untrusted or uncertain nodes group depending on the value assigned by the base station. Certainty is considered in [6] in order to derive first, a reputation space and after this a trust space. The watch dog mechanism is used to obtain the reputation values from observations or first-hand information.…”

“…Consequently, by using lightweight algorithms, they can be able to infer the reputation of its neighbours and decide if they trust them for certain operations. In fact, the architecture had been applied by most of the existing research on trust management system, although only a few of those works take reputation explicitly into account [6,10,33]. Still, having both reputation and trust in the same system is important.…”

Research on trust management systems for wireless sensor networks is still at a very early stage and few works have done so far. It seems that for those works which deal with the topic general features of how these systems should be are not clearly identified. In this paper we try to identify the main features that a trust management system should have and justify their importance for future developments.

“…The generic architecture of a WSN is based on sensors placed over a specified field to sense and collect information on a specific task and to communicate back to its base station, often referred to as a data sink. The base station utilizes either public or dedicated communication links connected to a sensor network task manager (Boukerch et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2007b;Khalid et al, 2013;Sarobin & Ganesan, 2016). WSNs possess many benefits, including their low-cost, low-power, robustness, durability, small size, ease of deployment and multi-function ability (Yang & Cao, 2008;Yick et al, 2008;Li & Gong, 2008;Lasol & Pornpromlikit, 2016).…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology has gained importance in recent years due to its various benefits, practicability and extensive utilization in diverse applications. The innovation helps to make real-time automation, monitoring, detecting and tracking much easier and more effective than previous technologies. However, as well as their benefits and enormous potential, WSNs are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. This paper is a systematic literature review of the security-related threats and vulnerabilities in WSNs. We review the safety of and threats to each WSN communication layer and then highlight the importance of trust and reputation, and the features related to these, to address the safety vulnerabilities. Finally, we highlight the open research areas which need to be addressed in WSNs to increase their flexibility against security threats.
