Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) are comprised of sensor nodes that are deployed under the water having limited battery power and other limited resources. Applications of UWSNs include monitoring the quality of the water, mine detection, environment monitoring, military surveillance, disaster prediction, and underwater navigation. UWSNs are more vulnerable to security attacks as compared to their counterparts such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The possible attacks in UWSNs can abrupt the operation of entire network. This research work presents the analysis of relevant research done on security-based schemes in UWSNs. The security-based schemes are categorized into five sub-categories. Each technique in each category is analyzed in detail. The major contribution in each security-based scheme along with technique used, possible future research issues and implementation tool are discussed in detail. The open research issues and future trends identified and presented in this research can be further explored by the research community.

“…The active attack mostly attempts by external nodes which do not belong to the networks. The main feature of security in UWSNs are key management, intrusion management, trust issues, secure localization, secure synchronization, and routing security [28,29]. To achieve the security requirements and setup or mechanism should be proposed that protect UWSNs from these above-mentioned treats [30].…”

With the advancement in technology, there has been a keen interest of researchers and industrial institution in the use of Underwater Sensors Networks (UWSN). This study is devoted to the secure communication between the underwater sensors networks which is now a day’s most widely used for oceanographic abnormalities, and to track submarines that perform the surveillance and navigation. But UWSNs has its limitations such as multipath, propagation delay, low bandwidth, and limited battery as compared to traditional WSNs that causes a low life in comparison with WSNs. Secure communication in UWSNs is more difficult due to the above-mentioned limitations which need ultralightweight components. There are many miscellaneous attacks due to which sensors can be able to lose both data availability and integrity that is why this study is basically to design an efficient algorithm that possesses less computation and use less space for secure communication. The proposed algorithm will initially establish the first half of the key through a genetic algorithm and then will develop the remaining part. After that encryption algorithm is proposed for the secure communication between UWSNs and its performance will be evaluated based on throughput, running time, space usage, and avalanche effect.

“…The authors in [24] considered the requirements as well as security related issues of UWASNs. In this research it is proposed that same key should be utilized by both the sender and the receiver for the purpose of encryption and decryption as the size of the symmetric key is less as compared to the size of the asymmetric key.…”

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is an emerging technology for exploration of underwater resources. Security plays an important role in the UWSNs environment because the environment of UWSNs is prone to different security attacks. This research proposes SEECR: Secure Energy Efficient and Cooperative Routing protocol for UWSNs. SEECR comprised of energy efficient and strong defense mechanism for combatting attacks in underwater environment. SEECR exploits cooperative routing for enhancing the performance of network. Considering the resource constrained UWSNs environment minimum computation is employed for implementing security so that SEECR remains suitable for underwater environment. In order to evaluate the performance of SEECR, this research compares the performance of SEECR with AMCTD: Adaptive Mobility of Courier Nodes in Threshold-optimized DBR-a wellknown routing protocol for UWSNs environment. The performance of SEECR and AMCTD protocols are evaluated using different performance evaluation parameters such as number of alive nodes, transmission loss, throughput, energy tax and end-to-end delay. The results suggest an improved performance of SEECR over AMCTD. SEECR shows an improvement of 9% in terms of number of alive nodes, over 50% reduction in terms of transmission loss, up to 9% increase in throughput, up to 23% reduction in energy tax, and 25% reduction in end-to-end delay. Further, we observe that attack significantly degrades the performance of AMCTD whereas due to the embedded defense mechanism in SEECR the impact of attack is negligible.
