M-Trust based Security Protocol (MTSP) for Confidential Data Forwarding in IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology helping humankind by extending its support to varieties of applications like health care monitoring, forest fire, traffic management, and many more. IoT utilizes the WSN network to sense geographical information and forward it to the destination for decision making. WSN works with the cooperation of distributed sensor nodes that are supplied with limited computing and battery resources. This limitation makes the nodes prone to malicious attacks resulting in loss of critical information and failure of the entire network. In this paper, a novel M-Trust based Security Protocol (MTSP) is designed for secure and confidential data transmission in the network. The simulation results prove improved Security and Secure Data transmission when compared to existing protocols.
