ABSTRACT
The popular technology Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used in many fields of the application such as the medical,
the military, the industry, the agricultural, etc. In this paper, explains the security issues in the WSNs. Firstly explain the
challenges of wireless sensor networks, the security requirements such as confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, data
freshness, and availability and the attacks in the WSNs, the security issues are accomplished via these classes: [the
encryption algorithms (symmetric, asymmetric, hybrid) , the security protocols such as (Tinysec, SPINS, LEDS, Minisec,
LEAP, MASA, Lightweight LCG, MiniSec, VEBEK of WSN), the secure data aggregation, and the key management,
etc.]. Also, this paper concentrates on the study researches that fulfill the high level of the security in the WSNs.

Keywords: Security, Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Wireless Sensor Networks.

1. Introduction
Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) consists of the number of independent distributed sensors nodes (so-called
motes) to monitor physical or environmental status like as (temperature, pressure, light, sound, and humidity),
the development of Wireless Sensor Networks was first started by military applications such as battleground
observation and yet these are emerged into different fields such as manufacturing process monitoring, good
health monitoring and traffic control etc. [1, 2]. WSN composed of a particular node named gateway node
(Base Station) rich in storage resources and computing. The sensor nodes transmit information to the gateway
among a many nodes using wireless transmission for more processing.

The security requirements for the WSNs are alike to traditional networks, so you must consider the parameters
like as (confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, availability, etc.) in the establishment of the network. Because
of WSNs network limitations (in energy, memory, and processing) not whole security solutions designed for
traditional networks utilized immediately in WSNs. The researchers in the security of the WSNs have
suggested many security systems that have been improved for these networks with resource limitations. A
number of safe and effective routing protocols [3, 4][5][6] and encryption techniques [7, 8][9] and secure data
aggregation [10, 11][12], and the key management [13, 14][15] were suggested by many WSNs security
researchers.
The paper is structured as follows. Section 2 present introduction, the section 3 explains challenges of WSNs.
Section 4 explain security requirements, the section 5 present cryptography on WSNs, the section 6 present
secure data aggregation, section 7 present security protocols in WSNs, the section 8 explain key management,
the section 9 and 10 show in brief way a an attacks on WSNs, and in final we conclude the study in the section
11.
