Abstract
Today wireless sensor networks (WSN) play an important role in most recent applications such as the internet of things, smart grid, VANET, and underwater sensor networks. Security is a fundamental aspect in WSN. However, WSN suffers from various constraints such as unsecured communications, fault tolerance, and limited resources, which make security a challenging task. In this paper, we present a survey on different attacks in WSNs and their corresponding countermeasures.
