Challenges and authentication in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

A network comprising of several minute wireless sensor nodes which are organized in a dense manner is called as a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Fig 1 demonstrates the architecture of wireless sensor networks. Every node estimates the state of its surroundings in this network. The estimated results are then converted into the signal form in order to determine the features related to this technique after the processing of the signals. Based on the multi hop technique, the entire data that is accumulated is directed towards the special nodes which are considered as the sink nodes or the Base Station (BS). The user at the destination receives the data through the internet or the satellite via gateway. The use of the gateway is not very necessary as it is reliant on the distance between the user at the destination and the network [1].
