Abstract

The aim of this review paper is to study the security of Leach protocol used in wireless sensor network. It includes various attacks possible on Leach protocol and methods to prevent it from attacks. Leach is low energy adaptive clustering (CH) hierarchical protocol which is a highly secure protocol still there are attacks possible on Leach. The wireless sensor network is more prone to attacks than wired network. Also there are energy issues and security issues arise in wireless sensor network. To resolve that issues various routing protocols have been proposed. Leach is one of the hierarchical routing protocols. For security of WSN various security mechanisms are also studied in this paper.
