Abstract
At present, wireless sensor networks are developing rapidly with the support of the Internet of things. Wireless sensor networks can deliver the information people need at any time, free from the constraints of time and space. Wireless sensor network is widely used, which lays a solid foundation for the development of Internet of things. As the node deployment environment of wireless sensor networks is usually very complex, it is necessary to study the security of wireless sensor networks so as to reduce security threats and network attacks. In this paper, the security and application of the wireless sensor network are emphasized.
1. Introduction
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is perception, and the main tool is sensor. The use of sensors can effectively sense the external environment, and then with the help of wireless network for information transmission, to meet user needs. The security of wireless sensor network must be paid attention to, because it is supported by high technical content and complex structure, once there is a problem, the consequences are unimaginable. The development of the Internet of things is inseparable from wireless sensor networks, and the ability of people to communicate quickly is also closely related to it [1].
WSN can be used to collect all kinds of data and information and deal with all kinds of complex environments, the application of WSN covers all aspects. In the military field, it can be used to detect the deployment of troops in enemy terrain and other situations, and it has the function of detecting biological and chemical pollution and nuclear radiation. In terms of environmental monitoring and protection, it can be used for data collection in the field environment, tracking animal footprints, analyzing pollution situation, and predicting the explosion of forest fire and debris flow. In the field of industry and agriculture, the monitoring of crop growth and product flow intelligent production. In the field of medical care and health, it can realize the function of obtaining physiological data of patients, analyzing their conditions, and timely receiving medical treatment. In addition, wireless sensor network plays a crucial role in the field of smart home, smart transportation, smart city, cultural relic protection and business, etc. Wireless sensor network is changing people's life [2].
The information security of WSN is concerned in many contexts, such as military medical disaster prevention and other fields. Wireless sensor networks use open wireless communication channel technology to transmit data, but without security protection means, data is very vulnerable to internal and external attacks [3]. However, the amount of computation based on the cryptographic defence method is not suitable for WSN network. Therefore, it is also a big problem to choose an appropriate encryption method to ensure the security of WSN information [4] .
