This is because the trade-off between security and performance in WSNs is far too high. In this paper we explore the security requirements of the varied application fields of ZigBee WSNs from current to future applications with the aim of expanding the application domain, integrity and authenticity levels in such these applications. We will explore the existing WSNs security mechanisms and other security mechanisms which are available in wireless Adhoc Networks. Our aim is to harness the positive aspects of all the mechanisms and combine them to define a multilevel structured security which trades performance to security level. We believe with varied options in security and performance levels, ZigBee WSNs can adopt a wider applications domain. © 2010 IEEE. date: 2010 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-78049371091&doi=10.1109%2fITSIM.2010.5561528&partnerID=40&md5=523187e139402fcf1a6a0e66e15204e8 id_number: 10.1109/ITSIM.2010.5561528 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings 2010 International Symposium on Information Technology - Engineering Technology, ITSim'10 volume: 2 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 612-617 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424467181 citation: Nyamasvisva, T.E. and Hasbullah, H.
