Secure and Efficient Data Transmission inCluster Based Wireless Sensor Networks usingSET-IBS and SET-IBOOS Protocol

Abstract

Efficient data transmission is an issue for wireless sensor networks. Efficient means providing security for data transmission and providing efficiency in data transmission for cluster based wireless sensor networks. Clustering is an effective way to enhance the system performance of wireless sensor networks. In this, the clusters are formed dynamically and periodically. The Identity based digital signature protocol is introduced in order to provide reliable data transmission for cluster-based wireless sensor networks. The Identity based digital signature protocol relies on the hardness of the Diffie- Hellman problem to provide security and also, identity based online-offline signature protocol introduced in order to avoid the security overhead in the identity based signature, identity based online-offline signature reduces the computational overhead of the protocol using discrete logarithm problem. This paper includes the feasibility of the protocol with respect to security requirements and security analysis over several attacks and deal with orphan node problem. The calculations and simulations are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed protocol. The results show that, the proposed protocol have better performance than the existing secure protocols for cluster-based wireless sensor networks, in terms of security overhead and energy consumption.
