Abstract

In spite of extensive research on WSN for decades, it still has not slowed down in pace. Newer technologies like Internet of Things which focuses on detail information, WSN sought to be an integral part of this. In this paper, we tried to illustrate the study that had been done for better research possibilities and opening up newer concepts. We discussed from very basic parts of a WSN network to real life implementation on some advance stage. We studied the efficient reconfigurable security approach for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) with XBee and Arduino. The users can reconfigure the security scheme and algorithms by reloading the program in sensor node with a programmable processor. We tested our system with RC4 stream cipher and modified RC4-Based Hash function to provide the security services.
