Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) is an emerging technology for exploration of underwater resources. Security plays an important role in the UWSNs environment because the environment of UWSNs is prone to different security attacks. This research proposes SEECR: Secure Energy Efficient and Cooperative Routing protocol for UWSNs. SEECR comprised of energy efficient and strong defense mechanism for combatting attacks in underwater environment. SEECR exploits cooperative routing for enhancing the performance of network. Considering the resource constrained UWSNs environment minimum computation is employed for implementing security so that SEECR remains suitable for underwater environment. In order to evaluate the performance of SEECR, this research compares the performance of SEECR with AMCTD: Adaptive Mobility of Courier Nodes in Threshold-optimized DBR-a wellknown routing protocol for UWSNs environment. The performance of SEECR and AMCTD protocols are evaluated using different performance evaluation parameters such as number of alive nodes, transmission loss, throughput, energy tax and end-to-end delay. The results suggest an improved performance of SEECR over AMCTD. SEECR shows an improvement of 9% in terms of number of alive nodes, over 50% reduction in terms of transmission loss, up to 9% increase in throughput, up to 23% reduction in energy tax, and 25% reduction in end-to-end delay. Further, we observe that attack significantly degrades the performance of AMCTD whereas due to the embedded defense mechanism in SEECR the impact of attack is negligible.

“…There are many security attacks to UWANs as reported in [17], [19], [55], and [56], which are summarized here according to the layer that an attack may be launched as listed in Table II. Generally, attacks may be passive or active according to actions to be taken by attackers in order to complete an attack.…”

Underwater acoustic networks (UWANs) are often deployed in unattended and untransparent or even hostile environments and face many security threats, while many applications based on UWANs require secure communication, such as costal defense, submarine communication and harbor security. Peculiar features of UWANs such as very constrained resources pose big challenges in defending UWANs against security threats, and many research results are published to address these issues along with several brief surveys available in the literature. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive survey on UWAN security by first discussing the fundamental of network security in general and the main UWAN security threats faced by the physical layer to the transport layer. Then the paper reviews countermeasure schemes against the typical UWAN security threats, securing UWAN protocols and cryptographic primitives designed for UWANs as well as UWAN security structures that address several security issues systematically. The research of UWAN security is still in an early stage, and the paper discusses several important issues necessarily for further studies at the end.

The performance of underwater wireless sensor network gets affected by the working of a cluster in the network. The cluster head (CH) or cluster member (CM) fails because of energy depletion or hardware errors that increase delay and message overhead of the network. To recover the affected cluster, a technique is required to identify the failed CH or CM. We propose a fault detection and recovery technique (FDRT) for a cluster-based network in this paper. Primarily, while selecting the CH, a backup cluster head (BCH) is selected using fuzzy logic technique based on parameters such as node density, residual energy, load, distance to sink, and link quality. Then, failure of CH, BCH, and CM is detected. If fault is detected at CH, then the BCH will start performing the task of failed CH. Simultaneously, when BCH failed, any other CM will be elected as BCH. If any of the CM appears to be nonperforming, then CH will detect the communication failure and request BCH to transfer the data from the failed CM to CH. The comparison of proposed FDRT is performed with existing FDRTs EDETA, RCH, and SDMCGC on the basis of packet drop, end-to-end delay, energy consumption, and delivery ratio of data packets. By simulation results, it is shown that FDRT for cluster-based underwater wireless sensor network results in quicker detection of failures and recovery of the network along with the reduction in energy consumption, thereby increasing the lifespan of the network.KEYWORDS backup cluster head, cluster head, cluster member, fault detection, fault recovery, UWSN
