Abstract:
WSN has been exhilarated in many application areas such as military, medical, environment, etc. Due to the rapid increase in applications, it causes proportionality to security threats. Mostly, nodes used, are independent of human reach and dependent on their limited resources, the major challenges can be framed as energy consumption and resource reliability.
Introduction:
Due to the limitation of resources in the sensor nodes, the traditionally intensive security mechanism is not feasible for WSNs. This limitation brought the concept of Digital watermarking in existence. The intent of this paper is to investigate the security related issues and role of watermarking in wireless sensor networks. Watermarking is an effective way to provide security, integrity, data aggregation and robustness in WSN.
Mehtod:
Digital watermarking is essential in WSN since it provides security in various forms such as confidentiality, service availability and data freshness. We have briefly discussed the various security requirements in the wireless sensor networks. Several issues and challenges, as well as the various threats of WMSN, is also considered. The related work, suggests that lots of research work are required to improve the security and authentication issues of WMSN by digital watermarking. This survey contribution will be helpful for researcher to accomplish effective watermarking scheme for WSN.
Result:
WSN is the collection of sensors that are spread in the environment. They measure and monitor physical conditions like temperature, sound, pressure, humidity, etc. and organize the collected data at the main location. The base station then forwards the data to end-users who analyze and make strategic decisions. Nowadays the modern network is bi-directional i.e. we can control the activity of the sensor. The central stations, unlike another sensor network, have infinite power, plenty of memory, powerful processors and a high bandwidth link. Whereas sensors are small in size, have fewer computation abilities, transfer wirelessly and are power-driven by small batteries
Conclusion:
Watermarking is an effective way to provide security, integrity, data aggregation and robustness in WSN. Digital watermarking is essential in WSN since it provides security in various forms such as confidentiality, data integrity, service availability and data freshness. In this paper, we have briefly discussed the various security requirements in the wireless sensor networks. We have also discussed work done by several authors in WSN with watermarking techniques
Discussion:
Wireless network faces more challenges as compared to wired network. In WSN, maximum amount of data and information can be stealed and effortlessly accessed during transmission. The nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are resources constrained. Due to which WSNs have certain challenges i.e. processing power, storage and
computational capacity and high bandwidth demand. Security schemes are not easy to design since the network tends to be large and ad-hoc. The analysis for privacy and security have been explored by some authors like J. Zhu et al. In recent years, a cryptography-based security designs have been proposed for WSNs. Cryptography is the process of concealing the information into the cipher text by encrypting it.
