A challenge in designing wireless sensor networks is to maximize the lifetime of the network with respect to limited resources and energy. These limitations make the network particularly vulnerable to attacks from adversaries. Attacks such as wormhole attack and Byzantine General Attack, that are considered damaging to the security of the information system of the network. In this paper we implemented those two attacks on different network settings and topologies to test how it affects the information that is being spread in the network in the presence of these attacks. We use Matlab simulation and our results show the differences between the between different topologies on the stability of the information of the network.

The journal is currently an open access journal.
The articles receive both rigorous peer-review and expedited online publication.
The journal encourages young researchers to submit their unpublished papers.
The authors retain their article’s copyright.
The authors retain publishing rights without restrictions.
Thus, authors may use their own articles for the following non-commercial purposes without asking our permission (and subject only to acknowledging first publication in Journal of Communications Technology, Electronics and Computer Science and giving a full reference or web link, as appropriate).
Authors cannot submit a manuscript for publication to other journals simultaneously. It is a waste of valuable resources because editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts. It is also unethical to republish similar research articles (text/figures/tables) again because journals have limited page space and it most likely violates copyrights which have already been transferred to the first journal. Therefore, all journals require a signed author's copyright transfer agreement stating the originality of the research work submitted through a manuscript. As stated above that authors should submit original, new and unpublished research work to the journal. The ethical issues such as plagiarism, fraudulent and duplicate publication, violation of copyrights, authorship and conflict of interest are serious issues concerning ethical integrity when submitting a manuscript to a journal for publication.
The contents of papers are the sole responsibility of the authors, and publication shall not imply the concurrence of the Editors or Publisher.
