Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to safety threats due to
cumulative dependence upon transmission, computing, and control
mechanisms. Therefore, securing the end-to-end communication becomes a
major area of research in WSNs. A majority of existing protocols are based
upon signature and recommended-based trust evaluation techniques only.
However, these techniques are vulnerable to wormhole attacks that happen due
to lesser synchronization between the sensor nodes. Therefore, to handle this
problem, a novel hybrid crossover-based ant colony optimization-based routing
protocol is proposed. An integrated modified signature and recommendationbased trust evaluation protocol for WSNs is presented. Extensive More >
