Malicious attackers spread various attacks to destroy the system of the sensor network. False report injection attacks occur on the application layer and drain the energy resources of each node. Statistical en-route filtering (SEF) is proposed to detect and drop false reports in intermediate nodes during the forwarding process. In this work, we propose a security method to improve the detection power and energy savings using four types of keys. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated and compared to that of SEF against the attack. Our experimental results reveal that our method improves detection power and energy savings by up to 25% and 9%, respectively.
