Abstract
This paper discusses selected security issues of the Zigbee/802.15.4 standard. The first part gives an introduction to the 802.15.4 standard and describes the security of the two lowest layers (MAC, PHY). The second part focuses on ZigBee architecture and its security functions. The last part outlines security problems in the specified standards, the network vulnerabilities and tries to draw new research topics in the area of sensor networks security.
