Block chain Technology for Trusted Network in Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Block chain technology can provide an efficient security mechanism for creating a trusted network in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). By utilizing distributed ledger technology, network nodes can securely exchange and verify information. This study further explores the potential of block chain technology in enhancing the security and trustworthiness of WSNs. An efficient security mechanism using block chain technology can be implemented in WSNs to establish a trusted network. Block chain ensures secure communication by providing decentralized consensus, data integrity, and tamper-proof verification. This mechanism mitigates common WSN security issues such as unauthorized access, data tampering, and node impersonation. This system aims to establish a trusted network by decentralizing security measures, ensuring data authenticity and integrity, and preventing various attacks such as tampering, spoofing, and data manipulation. The study suggested a block chain-enabled trusted algorithm for clustered-based Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol (EERP) in a WSN by locating the ideal Cluster Head (CH) in the network. For the accurate CH selection, several techniques like Mayfly Water Wave Optimisation (MF-WWO), Rivets-Shamir Adleman (RSA) are utilized to secure data transfer. MATLAB software has been used for simulation. The findings illustrated that the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has the highest fitness value of 97%. The upcoming possibility of efficient security mechanisms using block chain technology in WSNs includes enhanced data integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
