Security Aware Multipath Routing Protocol for WMSNs for Minimizing Effect of Compromising Attacks

摘要

In Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) the devices are interconnected in the wireless manner that is able to ubiquitously retrieve multimedia content such as video and audio streams, still images, and scalar sensor data from environments. Many research works have been undertaken to enhance the quality of multimedia contents and energy consumption, but not security. Till, security problems are critical issue in WMSNs. Trust inference is one of the methods that solve security problems in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In this paper, we propose an energy efficient trusted cluster ((ETC)-T-2) based routing protocol for WMSNs for overcome multi-objective problems, which can eventually maximize the network lifetime. The proposed routing protocol consist of two algorithms, first the multi-dimension differential evolution based trust (MDET) inference model used to compute trust value for each node in the network, then the energy efficient cluster formation is performed using load balance enhanced chemical reaction optimization (LBCRO) algorithm. The routing path between the source nodes to destination nodes framed by computed trust values. The result obtained through Network simulator tool and shows that the proposed routing protocol performs better than existing protocols in terms of energy consumption, QoS metrics, and network lifetime.
