Research on trust sensing based secure routing mechanism for wireless sensor network by Dan-yang QIN, Shuang JIA, Song-xiang YANG, Jing-ya MA, Yan ZHANG, Qun DING

“…Aiming at the serious impact of the typical network attacks caused by the limited energy and the poor deployment environment of wireless sensor network (WSN) on data transmission,a trust sensing based secure routing mechanism (TSSRM) with the lightweight characteristics and the ability to resist many common attacks simultaneously was proposed.Based on the analysis of the characteristics of network attack,the trust degree calculation model was constructed by combining node’s behavior with energy,at the same time the security route selection algorithm was also optimized by taking trust degree and QoS metrics into account.Performance analysis and simulation results show that TSSRM can improve the security and effectiveness of WSN.…”
