Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are gaining wide spread acceptance in the
regimes where close communication with physical world are important. Due to
importance in almost all fields of practical life WSN are vulnerable to wide range of
attacks. Securing the network from those attacks is a vital task in order to achieve the
required performance. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are security mechanisms
against network vulnerabilities. The purpose of this paper is to compare and evaluate
most recently proposed IDS methods in WSNs and identifying their strengths and
weaknesses.
