Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a major part of the telecommunications sector. WSN is applied in many aspects, including surveillance battlefields, patient medical monitoring, building automation, traffic control, environmental monitoring, and building intrusion monitoring. The WSN is made up of a vast number of sensor nodes, which are interconnected through a network. However, despite the growing usage of applications that rely on WSNs, they continue to suffer from restrictions, such as security issues and limited characteristics due to low memory and calculation power. Security issues lead to a lack of communication between sensors, wasting more energy. The need for efficient solutions has increased, especially with the rise of the Internet of Things, which relies on the effectiveness of WSNs. This review focuses on security issues by reviewing and addressing diverse types of WSN assaults that happened on each layer of the WSN that were published in security issues in the previous 3 years. As a consequence, this paper gives a taxonomy of security threats for each layer and different algorithmic solutions that numerous researchers who seek to counter this attack have explored. This study also presents a framework for constructing an intrusion detection system in the WSN by emphasising the drawbacks of each approach suggested by researchers to defend against specific forms of assault. In order to diminish the impact of this attack, this summary shows which attacks the majority of researchers have dealt with as well as which ones they have not yet addressed in their academic work.
