%0 Journal Article %T Fake Data Termination in Wireless Sensor Networks %A Ms. M. S. Pavithraa %A Mr. C. Balakrishnan %J International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering %D 2012 %I IJRTE %X Wireless sensor networks are specified ad-hocnetworks. They are characterized by their limited computingpower and energy constraints because they are generally limitedin memory, power and computational ability. Thus they can onlytransmit data to a limited distance. The major challenges ofwireless sensor networks are security. This paper proposes astudy of security in this kind of network. Here a list of attackswith their specificities and vulnerabilities are presented. Basedon the location information presence of fake data can beidentified. Here a solution to terminate this fake information isdiscussed. %K Ad-hoc networks %K sensor networks %K attacks %K security. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v1i2/A0157041212.pdf
