The wireless sensor network (or WSN) is the most recent technology that is going to be the upcoming era of the internet that link various physical objects who connect with each other without required to the human interactions. Even so, security play’s considerable role in network in order to prevent the not data misuses, modification of data, authorized access, etc. The WSN communication could be secured by used a light-weight cryptography, that is the lighter kind of cryptography. About 50’s lightweight cryptography algorithms (basic encryption algorithms) were presented in the recent years with a focus on a certain application, in addition to many other methods have been made by the study for the NIST recent times. To be able to present an alternative view of the WSN security problems and the utilization of lightweight encryption to protect it, this study, a review was presented to review several existing light weight algorithms which could serve this area, along with make comparison among these algorithms relating to performances, implementation, and models of attacks and the protest to these attacks.
