A Secure and Energy-Efficient Rooting Protocol for WSN

Abstract:

In directed diffusion rooting protocol, interest and exploratory data are disseminated by flooding, which will bring broadcast storm resulting in substantial energy consumption of wireless sensor networks. Grid-based directed diffusion rooting protocol can improve energy efficiency where geographic grids are constructed by self-organization of nodes using location information. Flooding of interest and exploratory data is limited in grid head nodes. But grid-based directed diffusion rooting protocol considers less about security. To adapt to environments with high security requirements, traffic attack detection and secure data aggregation schemes are added to grid-based directed diffusion rooting protocol. Simulation shows that the proposed schemes can real-time predict traffic attacks and improve accuracy of data aggregation results when networks are under attacks. At the same time, the protocol consumes less energy and extends lifetime of networks.
