Trusted transport mode based cluster-merkle-tree for wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensors networks (WSNs) are susceptible because of its characters. The traditional security mechanisms can not be use to protect the WSNs. In the paper, a trusted transport mode based on cluster-merkle-tree for WSNs (TTMCMT) is proposed, which can provide a method of trusted transport with WSNs of great restriction. The object of scheme is to realize secure authentication and secure message transmission and resist forgery attack, replay attack tamper attack and intrusion attack. We describe the trusted scheme and present performance analyses, which clearly show the scheme is trusted, secure and effective in wireless sensor networks with minimal cost.
