Survey on Security Systems in Underwater Communications Systems

The modernized technology for gathering of data by distributed level collaboration of sensors nodules in the marine environments is termed as underwater wireless Sensor Network (UWSN). This UWSN is relatively rare in the area of research and it’s a trending areas, so it provides more attention to the researcher. The study of underwater environments is the enriching area in the world to explorer the things in the underwater areas. In this security systems like underwater security systems play a major role in getting of secured information from the distributed sensors which is placed in underwater to monitor the underwater environment known to be as UWSN. There are many applications are carrying in the underwater environments. The Applications ranges from oil industry to Habitat monitoring, surveillance security systems etc. The secure data communication in the underwater sensor networks will provide secured communication among the nodes. There are high probabilities for vulnerable of attacks in the UWSN system. The Underwater wireless sensor systems to remove the genuine information and security techniques are important. This could be a major challenging factor for the researchers as well as marine observers to prevent from severe attacks. As the properties and uses of UWSN, various procedures were designed to confirm protected feature of UWSN. But majority of security attacks mechanisms depend on the vulnerability of threats. In this paper, we analyzed the security measures provided by different researchers for vulnerabilities of attacks and also deals with the various security attack like jamming, wormhole, Sybil etc. Those attacks may occurs on various layers of underwater sensors network and we provided the view to minimize the vulnerabilities of the threads in the systems. This paper provides the view to secure an UWSN environment.
