A security testing platform for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are already employed in numerous applications including military, industry, and health. Considering the inherent limitations in WSNs, the security is a critical issue in WSNs. The declared security functions of each device should be well verified. In this paper, a security testing method based on security level is proposed for WSNs. Meanwhile, an experimental security testing platform is implemented. The test results show that the platform is a feasible platform for assessing device security levels in WSNs.
