Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been used in many areas and contain a large number of tiny sensor nodes in the environment. An intruder can easily capture a large number of sensor nodes because these sensor nodes are deployed in the unattended environment. Using these compromised nodes an intruder can inject the false data report to the network. The false reports make the server misjudge and not respond the real situation immediately. To prevent false data report injection attacks, false data report filtering schemes have been proposed in recent years. Existing false data report filtering schemes are classified into two categories: symmetric key based schemes and asymmetric key based schemes. In this survey paper, we survey the previous researches of false data report filtering schemes based on a symmetric key in wireless sensor networks. Our contributions are to analyze the previous researches regarding their advantage and disadvantage.
