An energy aware and secure Fuzzy logic based Clustering Algorithm for WSN’S: A Trust-based Solution for Energy Efficiency and Data Security in Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Concerns about preserving battery life and ensuring data integrity are two of the biggest inwireless sensor networks (WSNs). In addition, the sensor nodes that make up a WSN are themselveslimited in terms of their available energy, therefore it's important that the network as a whole preserve asmuch of its energy as possible. When it comes to the issue of power consumption in WSN, the clusteringmechanism is one of the most important solutions. The current clustering algorithms' biggest flaw is thatthey falsely assume that every node can be trusted equally. In spite of the fact that security is a majorconcern when planning a WSN's architecture, it is often not until clustering that this element of safety isgiven any attention at all. The use of a trust-based mechanism is an interesting strategy for achievingsafe data transfer. As a result, it's important to have a single algorithm that combines trust awarenesswith energy efficiency, i.e. For efficient selection of dependable and energy-efficient node as ClusterLeader, a Fuzzy Logic-based Energy Aware Secure Clustering Algorithm is presented.
