Resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) require an automated firmware updating protocol for adding new features or error fixes. Reprogramming nodes manually is often impractical or even impossible. Current update protocols require a large external memory or external WSN transport protocol. This paper presents the design, implementation, and experiments of a Program Image Dissemination Protocol (PIDP) for autonomous WSNs. It is reliable, lightweight and it supports multi-hopping. PIDP does not require external memory, is independent of the WSN implementation, transfers firmware, and reprograms the whole program image. It was implemented on a node platform with an 8-bit microcontroller and a 2.4 GHz radio. Implementation requires 22 bytes of data memory and less than 7 kilobytes of program memory. PIDP updates 178 nodes within 5 hours. One update consumes under 1‰ of the energy of two AA batteries.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used in many applications in military and commercial areas. These applications often include the monitoring of sensitive information such as enemy movement on the battlefield or the location of personnel in a building. However, due to the highly resource constrained in sensor nodes, traditional security strategies always can do few with attacks on WSNs. In this Paper, we proposes a study of attacks and security mechanisms in WSNs. First, we summarize the attacks to WSNs and the security requirements based on the TCP\IP networking model, then we present the security solutions to each attack. Along the way we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of various WSN solutions and further compare and evaluate these solutions.
