WSNs are finding an increasing number of applications, both civilian and military, most of which require security for the sensed data being collected by the base station from remote sensor nodes. In addition, when many sensor nodes transmit to the base station, the implosion problem arises. Providing security measures and implosion- resistance in a resource-limited environment is a real challenge. This article reviews the ag- gregation strategies proposed in the literature to handle the
