The availability of powerful and sensor-enabled mobile and Internet-connected devices have enabled the
advent of the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) paradigm. USN provides various types of solutions to the
general public in multiple sectors, including environmental monitoring, entertainment, transportation,
security, and healthcare. Here, we explore and compare the features of wireless sensor networks and USN.
Based on our extensive study, we classify the security- and privacy-related challenges of USNs. We identify
and discuss solutions available to address these challenges. Finally, we briefly discuss open challenges for
designing more secure and privacy-preserving approaches in next-generation USNs.
