Current challenges and Major Security Issues Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Our planet is covered by 70 to 75% of water and underwater much marine life is being living and surviving a life. Underwater Wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) has implemented underwater from many challenges occur in transmission to monitored data and several components deployed in a specific acoustic channel like vehicles and sensors. To achieve this, sensors and vehicles self-standardized in an autonomous network which can adapt the features of the oceanographic environment. Due to the peculiar harsh characteristics of the underwater environment, some anti-characteristics will seriously interfere with reliable data communication, transmission rates, communication range, throughput and packet routing information of underwater sensor networks. And also vulnerable to attacks due to the high bit error rates, large propagation delays and insufficient bandwidth of acoustic medium. Harsh underwater environment to perform data monitoring and data collection tasks of underwater that can be remotely access system and users of marine life as well as acoustic. In this paper, I summarized key challenges and security issues in implementing UWSN devices and an overview of latest paper research enhancing function and dimension topology’s in UWSNs.
