Abstract

Securing data accuracy in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) is a major problem. Aggregation techniques for improving accuracy in data processing have been gaining attention of scholars, recently. Existing security systems using singular paths for transmission of data have delays in transmissions while being open to intrusions. Moreover, increased computational overheads and processing time increases the delay of data transmission in the given networks. To overcome these issues, this work proposes ELSOA-CA (Enhanced Lion Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Centralized Authentication) method. This method focuses on an optimal, faster and energy efficient data transmissions while ensuring accurate decisions on tomato crops. Multipath routing introduced in the proposed method ensures faster data transmissions by selecting optimal forwarder nodes which satisfy the constraints of delay and energy. Optimal forwarder node selection is done using ELOSA algorithm. Data transmissions are secured by centralized authentication involving third party nodes. Each and every node in a region gets registered with the authentication node where a node’s genuineness is checked the node is allowed into the forwarder node list, used for data routing. CA (Centralized Authentication) enhances the security level of data transmissions over WSN multi path routing. ELSOA-CA framework’s simulation results provide higher throughputs, reduced energy consumptions, improved network lifetimes PDRs (Packet Drop Ratios) and lesser delay times.
