MSCR: multidimensional secure clustered routing scheme in hierarchical wireless sensor networks

Abstract For hierarchical wireless sensor network (WSN), the clustered routing protocol can effectively deal with large-scale application requirements, thereby, how to efficiently elect secure cluster heads becomes very critical. Unfortunately, many current studies only focus on improving security while neglecting energy efficiency and transmission performance. In this paper, a lightweight trust management scheme (LTMS) is proposed based binomial distribution for defending against internal attacks. Simultaneously, distance domain, domain environment are considered introduced propose multidimensional (MSCR) by using dynamic dimension weight in WSNs. The simulation results show that LTMS prevent malicious node from being elected as head, MSCR achieve balance between security, performance under requirements of environmental applications.
