Energy efficient detection of malicious nodes using secure clustering with load balance and reliable node disjoint multipath routing in Wireless Sensor Networks

In order to increase the network latency and resolve the security bottlenecks induced by the camouflaged malicious nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks, the residual energy and trust values are used to form a secured clustering, the network lifetime is increased by using the backup nodes in order to distribute the load among the secured clusters and reliable multipath node disjoint route discovery algorithm is proposed. The simulated experimental results in NS2 platform show that the proposed method can minimize the effect of malicious nodes and improve the network lifetime for the sensor network by balancing the trust values and residual energy of sensor nodes. © 2015 IEEE.
