Mobile platform for threat monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks

The article touches aspects of security in Wireless Sensor Networks. It begins with a review and classification of existing types of threats and protection methods. The main part of the paper presents the results obtained during development of a threat detection system for WSN network. The described approach is based on a mobile platform which allows separation of security mechanisms and the software controlling the nodes of the protected network. The article describes the architecture of the system, chosen detection methods and details of the prototype implementation.
