Due to significant advancement in wireless communication, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted great attention in recent years. WSNs are randomly deployed, battery operated autonomous systems consisting of large number of sensors nodes which are responsible for transmitting the real-time sensed data for a specific application in the monitoring area to the base station where it can be further processed and analyzed. However, due to wireless communication, the network is easily compromised. Solutions dedicated to wire networks are not suited in the resource constrained wireless network. There is still a scope for wide research potential in the field of wireless sensor network security. In this paper, we analyzed the issues related to security in WSNs and also highlight the research area in the field of wireless sensor networks.

“…The cooperative solution that is proposed by León, Hernández-Serrano, and Soriano [54], which specifically targets centralized IEEE 802.22 networks, is based on the same assumption and thus cannot cope with the emulation of PUs that have unknown locations (e.g., wireless microphones), despite its ability to precisely determine the locations of received signals. Blesa et al [55] state that countermeasures based on geo-location are not appropriate for scenarios with mobile PUs and SUs, and, according to Araujo et al [42], mobile attackers can take advantage of their mobility in order to remain undetected. We note that Peng, Zeng, and Zeng [56] propose what they argue to be the first PU emulation detection solution considering mobile attackers.…”

“…This threat is materialized through the transmission of fake PU signals and does not necessarily require the attackers to participate in any underlying cooperative scheme. Thus, a PU emulation attacker does not aim at causing interference to PUs and, according to Araujo et al [42], PU emulation is the most studied attack against CR.…”

Currently, there are several ongoing efforts for the definition of new regulation policies, paradigms, and technologies aiming a more efficient usage of the radio spectrum. In this context, cognitive radio (CR) emerges as one of the most promising players by enabling the dynamic access to vacant frequency bands on a non-interference basis. However, the intrinsic characteristic of CR opens new ways for attackers, namely in the context of the effective detection of incumbent or primary users (PUs), the most fundamental and challenging requirement for the successful operation of CR networks. In this article, we provide a global and integrated vision of the main threats affecting CR environments in the context of the detection of primary users, with a particular focus on spectrum sensing data falsification and primary user emulation attacks. We also address solutions and research challenges still required to address such threats. Our discussion aims at being complete and self-contained, while also targeting readers with no specific background on this important topic of CR environments. It is, as far as our knowledge goes, the first work providing a global and clear vision of security threats and countermeasures in the context of primary user detection in CR.

With regard to the spread of innovative technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have great research interest in recent years. Although the WSN service is being facilitated, security related accidents are continuously incurring. In particular, many activities between mobile devices and sensor nodes take place without too much of protection of privacy information. To avoid these risks in WSN, we do need to devise the privacy care architecture to prevent the private data loss or breach especially in WSN. In this paper, we focus on WSN privacy issues with respect to mobile environments. We also suggest architecture to securely manage private data collected by WSN. It helps to protect the collected private data more efficiently and prevent the private data loss and breach.
