Elliptic curve encryption-based energy-efficient secured ACO routing protocol for wireless sensor networks

Design of effective algorithm for reliable and energy optimized secure routing protocol (SRP) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a demanding design issue now. To handle this problem, we propose a trust and encryption-based SRP based on trust modelling with intrusion detection, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), clustering, fuzzy rules and ant colony optimization (ACO)-oriented SRP for WSN routing. In this paper, an extended convolutional neural networks with Schrodinger equation and particle swarm optimization is proposed for developing and intrusion detection-based trust modelling. Moreover, a new node authentication scheme and an encryption-based secure routing protocol are also proposed in this work for increasing the security. This proposed secure protocol known as trust and ECC encryption-based ACO-SRP (TECC-ACO-SRP) performs authentication and trust analysis on the nodes using intrusion detection, and then, the data are communicated after data encryption using ECC encryption technique. This proposed system combines dominant set clustering with fuzzy rules to make clusters with similar type of nodes as members and then selects cluster heads (CHs) for every cluster. This SRP ensures improved security, reduced delay and energy usage with higher packet delivery ratio than other existing SRPs.
