A Secure Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks Considering Secure Data Aggregation

Abstract

The commonly unattended and hostile deployments of WSNs and their resource-constrained sensor devices have led to an increasing demand for secure energy-efficient protocols. Routing and data aggregation receive the most attention since they are among the daily network routines. With the awareness of such demand, we found that so far there has been no work that lays out a secure routing protocol as the foundation for a secure data aggregation protocol. We argue that the secure routing role would be rendered useless if the data aggregation scheme built on it is not secure. Conversely, the secure data aggregation protocol needs a secure underlying routing protocol as its foundation in order to be effectively optimal. As an attempt for the solution, we devise an energy-aware protocol based on LEACH and ESPDA that combines secure routing protocol and secure data aggregation protocol. We then evaluate its security effectiveness and its energy-efficiency aspects, knowing that there are always trade-off between both.

Energy competent cluster‐based secured CH routing EC2SR protocol for mobile wireless sensor network

“…A sensor node elects a cluster head after collecting all advertising information. After the cluster head is chosen, the secret common key index is shared 16 . Due to the changing topology of portable networks, the most problematic aspect is routing methods.…”

An Energy- Efficient Optimal multi-dimensional location, Key and Trust Management Based Secure Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network

“…Generally, most of the routing protocols' primary focus is to attain power conservation in WSNs [15]- [18]. With regards, some of them focused on the energy-efficient routing protocol [19]- [21], energy-efficient cluster-based routing protocol [22]- [25], trust with key management based routing system for achieving high security [26], [27], and optimization based routing technique with security [28]- [31]. The summary of these methods is discussed as follows.…”

Research Trends in Secure Routing Protocols and Communication System in WSNs

“…From this approach can protect information exchange, secure data delivery as well as update the rout by isolation of malicious nodes. Rahayu et al [20], introduced a combinational approach of secure routing protocol and secure data aggregation protocol i.e., the study proposed a LEACH-based secure routing protocol (SLEACH) so as to optimize the security level of any data-aggregation protocol. The principal motive of the proposed study is to show the significance of considering SLEACH and secure data-aggregation together in designing a routing protocol for any WSNs to attain energy aware secure routing protocol.…”
