The security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a complex issue. While security research of WSNs is progressing at a tremendous pace, and many security techniques have been proposed, no comprehensive framework has so far emerged that attempts to tie the bits and pieces together to ease the implementors’ adoption of the technologies. We answer the challenge by proposing a guidelines according to which WSN security can be implemented in practice.
