Abstract

This paper introduces an integrated methodology that enhances both the efficiency and security of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) against various active attacks. A two-fold strategy is proposed that incorporates an advanced cluster head (CH) selection and a customized, lightweight encryption protocol. The CH selection process is optimized through a multi-phase approach using fuzzy logic, local and global network qualifiers, and a trust index to ensure the election of CHs that are not only energy-efficient but also reliable. To complement the robust CH selection, the study introduces a hybrid yet lightweight encryption scheme customized Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (c-RSA) and customized advanced encryption standard (c-AES) algorithms. This scheme is customized for WSNs with limited computational resources, maintaining strong encryption standards while significantly reducing energy consumption and computational overhead. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system substantially enhances network performance, exhibiting a 34.15% improvement in energy efficiency and a 30.95% increase in reliability over existing methods such as LEACH and its modified versions. This comprehensive approach underscores the potential for a synergistic design in WSNs that does not compromise on security while optimizing operational efficiency.

Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is known for its wider range of applications towards sensing physical attributes over human-inaccessible regions. With consistently rising concerns of security threats, WSN is the pivotal topic of network security. A literature review showcases the shortcomings of conventional data transmission schemes in WSN. This manuscript introduces an innovative approach to mitigating the potentially vulnerable and unknown threats. The implemented model promotes a group-based communication followed by a newly introduced threat onlooker node capable of identifying the malicious request of a newly designed adversary module. The scheme also hybridizes symmetric and asymmetric encryption at the end to cipher the aggregated data. The validation of the model is carried out considering standard scores of simulation parameters related to system variables. Further, the scheme has been compared with frequently adopted real-world encryption algorithms. Scripted in MATLAB, the model is assessed to confirm 35% of increased residual energy, 57% of better threat detection, 27% of enhanced throughput, and 68% of reduced processing time in contrast to existing secure data transmission schemes.
