If sensor networks are to attain their potential, security is one of the most important aspects to be taken care of. The need for security in military applications is obvious, but even more benign uses, such as home health monitoring, habitat monitoring and sub-surface exploration require confidentiality. WSNs are perfect for detecting environmental, biological, or chemical threats over large scale areas, but maliciously induced false alarms could completely negate value of the system. The widespread deployment of sensor networks is directly related to their security strength. These stated facts form the basis for this survey paper. This paper present a brief overview of challenges in designing a security mechanism for WSN, classify different types of attacks and lists available protocols, while laying outline for proposed work.
