Abstract: In recent years wireless sensor networks has gained a lot of attention and is used in number of commercial and military applications including home automation, building structure monitoring, battlefield monitoring and surveillance. In WSN each sensor node is prone to a plenty of possible malicious attacks launched by the invader and there’s a need of making the WSN immune to those attacks. The denial of service is most severe attack. Acknowledging the severity of such attacks, this paper first presents the review of security goals followed by types of denial of service attacks at different layers of transmission control protocol (TCP) model. At last various defense strategies against denial of service attacks have been discussed.
Keywords: Wireless sensor networks (WSN), security issues, transmission control protocol (TCP), active attacks, denial of service (DOS) attacks.
