Energy-Efficient Routing Security and Control in Wireless Sensor Networks

Although several energy-conserving security architectures have been proposed in wireless sensor networks so far, these architectures still need improvements to resist against routing attacks. In this paper, we propose a key management scheme and a routing algorithm called Ripple-Beaconing, with no redundancy between them. The two improve routing security and control and help in node localization and malicious node detection with no considerable increase in energy consumption considering the existing schemes.
