Abstract

WSNs are vulnerable to attacks and have deemed special attention for developing mechanism for securing against various threats that could effect the overall infrastructure. WSNs are open to miscellaneous classes of attacks and security breaches are intolerable in WSNs. Threats like untrusted data transmissions, settlement in open and unfavorable environments are still open research issues. Safekeeping is an essential and complex requirement in WSNs. These issues raise the need to develop a security-based mechanism for Wireless Sensor Network to categorize the different attacks based on their relevance. A detailed survey of active attacks is highlighted based on the nature and attributes of those attacks. An Ontology based mechanism is developed and tested for active attack in WSNs
