Abstract

Wireless networks have recently gained a lot of attention from the research community. Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are characterized as multihop wireless networks. There are several limitations and vulnerable features of WMN and WSN, along with the associated security threats and possible defenses. Security requirements for wireless networks are confidentiality, data integrity, data authentication and service availability.
