Securing Multipath Routing Protocol Using Authentication Approach for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) suffers from variety of threats such as operational lifetime of sensor nodes and security for information carried by sensor nodes. There is an increasing threat of malicious nodes attack on WSN. Black Hole attack is one of the security thread in which the traffic is redirected to such a node that actually does not exist in network. Having multipath routing protocol the lifespan of the wireless sensor network has been increases by dispensing traffic among several paths instead of a single optimal path. Also, secured data communication is one of the important research challenges in wireless sensor network. A secure and authentic Multipath Routing protocol for wireless sensor networks should be proposed which overcomes black hole attacks and provides secure data transmission in network. Performance should be measure in terms of different network parameters such as packet delivery fraction, energy consumption, normalize routing load and end-to-end delay.
