Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of sensor nodes, that sense environmental data and send it to the administrator for further processing. Sensor nodes are wireless devices with limited battery and are vulnerable to security attacks such as black hole attack, gray hole attack, sink hole attack etc. Researchers have proposed many security mechanisms to mitigate security attacks. Trust based approaches have gained tremendous interest among researchers to embed security in WSNs. A Trust Based Secure Routing Protocol to mitigate black hole attack is presented in this paper. The protocol computes comprehensive trust value for each node and routes the packets only through the nodes with trust value > 0.5. The results of the proposed protocol are compared with TBSEER [10] protocol. The results show an improvement in Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, End to End (EED), routing overhead and energy consumption.
