Water covers approximately 71% of the earth surface, yet much of the underwater world remains unexplored due to technology limitations. Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is a network of underwater objects that enables monitoring subsea environment remotely. Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) is the main enabling technology for IoUT. UWSNs are characterised by the limitations of the underlying acoustic communication medium, high energy consumption, lack of hardware resources to implement computationally intensive tasks and dynamic network topology due to node mobility. These characteristics render UNWSNs vulnerable to different attacks, such as Wormhole, Sybil, flooding, jamming, spoofing, and Denial of Service attacks. This article reviews peer‐reviewed literature that addresses the security challenges and attacks on UWSNs as well as possible mitigative solutions. Findings show that the biggest contributing factors to security threats in UWSNs are the limited energy supply, the limited communication medium and the harsh underwater communication conditions. Researchers in this field agree that the security measures of terrestrial wireless sensor networks are not directly applicable to UWSNs due to the unique nature of the underwater environment where resource management becomes a significant challenge. This article also outlines future research directions on security and privacy challenges of IoUT and UWSN.

水下物联网的安全挑战：系统文献综述

水覆盖了大约71％的地球表面，但是由于技术限制，许多水下世界尚未开发。水下物联网（IoUT）是一个水下物体网络，可以远程监视海底环境。水下无线传感器网络（UWSN）是IoUT的主要支持技术。UWSN的特征在于底层声学通信介质的局限性，高能耗，由于节点移动性而导致缺乏用于执行计算密集型任务的硬件资源以及动态网络拓扑。这些特征使UNWSN容易受到蠕虫，Sybil，洪水，干扰，欺骗和拒绝服务攻击等不同攻击的攻击。本文回顾了经过同行评审的文献，这些文献讨论了对UWSN的安全性挑战和攻击以及可能的缓解措施。研究结果表明，造成UWSN安全威胁最大的因素是有限的能源供应，有限的通信介质和恶劣的水下通信条件。该领域的研究人员一致认为，由于水下环境的独特性，陆地无线传感器网络的安全措施不能直接应用于UWSN，在水下环境中，资源管理成为一项重大挑战。本文还概述了有关IoUT和UWSN的安全性和隐私挑战的未来研究方向。有限的通讯媒介和恶劣的水下通讯条件。该领域的研究人员一致认为，由于水下环境的独特性，陆地无线传感器网络的安全措施不能直接应用于UWSN，在水下环境中，资源管理成为一项重大挑战。本文还概述了有关IoUT和UWSN的安全性和隐私挑战的未来研究方向。有限的通讯媒介和恶劣的水下通讯条件。该领域的研究人员一致认为，由于水下环境的独特性，陆地无线传感器网络的安全措施不能直接应用于UWSN，在水下环境中，资源管理成为一项重大挑战。本文还概述了有关IoUT和UWSN的安全性和隐私挑战的未来研究方向。
