Abstract

wireless sensor network is one of the recent trends in the field of networking. They have the capacity to work where it otherwise impossible for human beings. Wireless sensor network has extended the limits of human being with its usage in varied areas like military surveillance, medical etc. These networks consist of small nodes which can be placed anywhere in any type of environment. However these networks are vulnerable to certain attacks like black hole, wormhole and selective forwarding. Many authors have tried to tackle this attack by proposing various kinds of methods. In this paper wormhole attack, its impact on wireless sensor network is analyzed. A comprehensive study of various approach and their impact on the network is presented here.
