Trust performance of AODV, DSR and DSDV in wireless sensor networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have their profound applications almost in all possible fields to facilitate automation. All WSNs contain low powered nodes for sensing information about the environmental conditions and incessant reporting to the base station. Security is a very essential and critical criterion for communication. The nodes must be trust worthy and believable for routing sensed information. Hence we analyze the trustworthiness of AODV, DSR and DSDV protocols in a WSN. Network simulator is used for the simulation analysis of the three protocols.
