Energy Efficient Secure Packet Transmission with Intrusion Detection in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Over the last few decades, Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks (CBWSNs) have played a crucial role in handling various challenges such as load balancing, routing, network lifetime, etc. of large scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) [1-3].  The sensed data are transmitted through the network which may get altered maliciously by an attacker.  Especially when nodes in the cluster selfishly behave, e.g., not forwarding other nodes’ data, to save their limited resources.  However, the security becomes a big problem for CBWSNs. To overcome this problem, various cryptographic keys are used and these keys should be managed and maintained properly with optimum resources [4]. However, it does not provide satisfactory performance interms of encryption time and security.  In the previous phase of this research work, the Prioritization Based Delay Avoided Secured and Reliable Data Transmission Method (PBDASRDT) are designed. However, this research method doesn’t focus on the energy conservation parameters. And also the previous phase of the research work does not discuss about the security provisioning methods.  

To solve this problem the proposed system designed an Energy Efficient Secure Packet Transmission with Intrusion Detection (EESPT-ID) system for transmitting packets with higher efficiency. In this work, clustering is computed for achieving higher energy efficiency. The security of the system is enhanced by introducing the dynamic key based encryption technique. Here the dynamic key generation process is done in the cluster head and the encryption is done by using AES technique. This methodology can improve the network performance considerably by detecting the attacks more accurately with reduced delay.
