Funding Information:
YUGUANG FANG [SM] (fang@ece.ufl.edu) received a Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in January 1994 and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University in May 1997. He was an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology from July 1998 to May 2000. He then joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Florida in May 2000 as an assistant professor and got an early promotion to an associate professor with tenure in August 2003 and to a full professor in August 2005. He holds a University of Florida Research Foundation (UFRF) Professorship from 2006 to 2009. He has published over 200 papers in refereed professional journals and conferences. He received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Award in 2001 and the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award in 2002, and is the recipient of the Best Paper Award in IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) in 2006 and the recipient of the IEEE TCGN Best Paper Award in the IEEE High-Speed Networks Symposium, IEEE Globecom in 2002. He is also active in professional activities. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a member of ACM. He has served on several editorial boards of technical journals including IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine and ACM Wireless Networks. He was an editor for IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and currently serves on its Steering Committee. He has been actively participating in professional conference organizations such as serving as the Steering Committee Co-Chair for QShine, the Technical Program Vice-Chair for IEEE INFOCOM’05, Technical Program Symposium Co-Chair for IEEE Globecom’04, and a member of Technical Program Committee for IEEE INFOCOM (1998, 2000, 2003–2009).

N2 - The significant advances of hardware manufacturing technology and the development of efficient software algorithms make technically and economically feasible a network composed of numerous, small, low-cost sensors using wireless communications, that is, a wireless sensor network. WSNs have attracted intensive interest from both academia and industry due to their wide application in civil and military scenarios. In hostile scenarios, it is very important to protect WSNs from malicious attacks. Due to various resource limitations and the salient features of a wireless sensor network, the security design for such networks is significantly challenging. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of WSN security issues that were investigated by researchers in recent years and that shed light on future directions for WSN security.
