A cognitive wireless sensor network (CWSN) is an emerging technology with great potential to avoid traditiona wireless problems such as reliability. One of the major challenges CWSNs face today is security. A CWSN is a special network which has many constraints compared to a traditional wireless network and many different features compared to a traditional wireless sensor network. While security challenges have been widely tackled in traditional networks, this is a novel area in CWSNs. This article discusses a wide variety of attacks on CWSNs, their taxonomy and different security measures available to handle the attacks. Also, future challenges to be faced are proposed. © 2012 Araujo et al.
