Abstract

Secure data transmission is a very critical issue for WSN, Clustering is an effective and practical way to enhance the system performance of WSN. Providing security to transmit data is a demanding issue for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Clustering is a technique which is more effective to upgrade system performance. SET-IBS and SET-IBOOS are two Secure and efficient data transmission protocol for cluster based WSNs. They use Identity-Based digital Signature (IBS) method and Identity-Based Online/Offline digital Signature (IBOOS) method, where the clusters are formed dynamically and periodically. Even though SET-IBS and SET-IBOOS are secured routing protocols, it has some issues like energy efficiency, trustability and elongating network lifetime. To overcome these issues, Reliable Minimum Energy Cost Routing (RMECR) and Reliable Minimum Energy Routing (RMER) are two routing algorithms proposed for MANET in which trustability is ensured either hop-by-hop or end-to-end retransmissions. It considers the energy level in a battery of a node and also passable links to find energy efficient and trustable paths that improves the working longevity of the network.
