    Abstract :

    Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an idea of sensing and controlling any remote area or system using sensor nodes. Because of the open deployment, sensors are vulnerable for security threats. In this paper we address the energy and security issues together. In our approach, we modify our Energy efficient Cluster Based Data Aggregation (ECBDA)[1] scheme to provide secure data transmission. The survival of any sensor node depends on its residual battery power which is having a direct impact on the communication between nodes. Since, sensors nodes are low powered in nature, it is not viable to apply standard cryptography methods. Cluster head performs data aggregation and Bayesian fusion algorithm to enable security. Trust is the directional relationship between two sensor nodes. By checking the trustworthiness of a node, we can enable secure communication. Bayesian fusion algorithm calculates the trust probability of a sensor based on the behavior of the node. The simulation results show that our approach effectively detects the untrustworthy nodes with minimum energy consumption.
