Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are known for their extensive applications in the monitoring process. The future IoT will be dependent on WSN, which is made of WSN nodes. The major issues of WSN are energy efficiency and security. Efficient clustering and integration of security measures in the sensor nodes can overcome those major issues. In this research an Energy Conscious Secured Clustering Algorithm (ECSCA) is proposed to overcome the mentioned issues. The proposed method considers different factors like residual energy, degree of reachability of the sensor node, and cluster head supremacy for efficient cluster formation. After the cluster formation process, the node to node communication should be secured to prevent attacks from the malicious nodes in the network. The proposed method ensures communication by integrating an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based security mechanism with the clustering process. The simulation results are analyzed using the existing Secured Localization Routing Protocol (SLRP) scheme and different metrics like packet delay, location accuracy, and Malignant Node Identification Ratio (MNIR). The results proved to be more efficient than the existing scheme.
