Implementation of a novel cryptographic algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are designed with hundreds and thousands of sensor nodes that are operated in an unsecured or in hostile unattended environment. Since these networks have wide applications in military, health monitoring areas, industrial processing, ocean & wildlife monitoring, etc., requires the interaction with sensitive data yields the biggest challenge to provide security in routing protocols. Along with the security, WSNs have some other constraints such as physical capture, energy consumption, low capacity, etc. To overcome the above constraints, it is required to design an efficient Wireless Sensor Network that consumes less power, small in size and highly secured. To achieve the required objective, here we havemodified the R-XOR algorithm by adding some more features to increase its efficiency. The proposed algorithm is analyzed and proved that the throughput is high and overhead is reduced by comparing with existing R-XOR algorithm.
