Time synchronization is essential in wireless sensor networks as it is needed by many of the applications for basic communication. The inherent characteristics of sensor networks do not permit simply applying the traditional time synchronization algorithms. Therefore, many new time synchronization algorithms have been proposed and few of them have provided security measures against various degrees of attacks. In this paper, we review the most commonly used time synchronication algorithms and
