Secure Energy Efficient Attack Resilient Routing Technique for Zone based Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Security and Energy efficiency are two key factors to be contemplated in the design of applications based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Optimization of energy consumption is obligatory for an increased life time of the network. Without security, attackers can disrupt the entire operation of sensor network by instigating diverse attacks like message tampering, message dropping either in partial or whole and message flooding etc. This work proposes a secure energy efficient attack resilient routing technique for zone based wireless sensor network with proactive detection of malicious zones and mitigation from the attacks. Different from earlier works on detecting each malicious node, this work cleaves the network to zones and allots a probabilistic fuzzy score to model the success ratio of packet propagation through the zone. The routing is adaptive to ongoing residual energy and security risks. A Firm decision cannot be made on the frameworks influencing the life time of the network considering it may influence the operations of network. Experimentation of the proposed solution is done in NS2 and contrasted with the existing solutions to prove the effectiveness of the approach.
