Research on Low-energy Consumption Tree Routing Security for Wireless Sensor Networks

Safe and reliable Wireless Sensor Network (Wireless Sensor Networks, WSN) is an important branch of modern communication systems, and plays an important role in the life and production, especially in some critical fields. However, a large number of network attacks will threaten the data security, which will seriously affect network reliability and will greatly reduce the use value of wireless sensor networks. For network security issues, security model for Low-energy Consumption Tree Routing (LCTR) protocols has been proposed in this paper to provide reliable guarantee to achieve authentication and data integration using Message Authentication Code (MAC) or Digital Signature (DS) techniques. Research will devote to assess the implementation results and energy consumption of the common message authentication code and digital signature technology in tree routing protocol, so as to provide new option to security improvement for the wireless communication network.
