SEED: Secure and energy efficient data transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network is one of the most advanced and emerging technologies of the upcoming world and is being used in GPS Tracking, medical fields, Defence Departments, homeland security etc. The topology of WSN works in a triangular pattern. The sensor nodes collects the information from the environment, and sends it to the sink node, the sink node further transfer the information to base station and hence completing the transfer of data. But as the technology advances, the breaching into those technologies also increases and thus leading to leaking of important data which can be lethal at times(in case of defence etc.). Selective Forwarding, HELLO attack are some of the attacks through which the Wireless Sensor Topology can easily be accesses via third party. In this paper we are proposing an algorithm on rectifying the security issues by resolving the "Attacks" and hence increasing the security which leads to secure data transmission and also further add-ups in the efficiency of the Sensor Node.
