Sensor networks security issues in augmented home environment

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are expected to form an integral part of the foreseen ubiquity intelligent, future mobile network and are envisaged to play a key role in the vision of offering mobile, personalised services, in-home and out-doors, whenever and wherever needed. However, security and resilience across WSN, especially across insecure, heterogeneous and multi-administration domains like the augmented home environment, face essential limitations. In this paper, we aim to identify the major WSN open issues, challenges and functional holes, focusing on the networking characteristics in an augmented home environment.
