Abstract

Wireless sensor networks consist of some sensor nodes that have a minimum operational capability, with less memory capacity for storing data and limited energy sources. The deployment of these nodes or sensors takes place randomly in the dynamic or static environment. This type of placement of nodes in a hostile environment can be charged by the malicious nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN). This vulnerability in nodes makes the wireless sensor network unstable and leads to many types of demerits like limited battery lifetime, less computing and limited memory space. To avoid these attacks and to reduce the impact created by the malicious nodes, we suggest a simple and effective way of detecting and removing unhealthy nodes in the environment. We proposed a simple scheme by using the artificial bee colony algorithm which is known as the soldier bee defence mechanism to provide proper security from the impersonate of node attack algorithm in detecting the malicious node present in the network. The malicious nodes will be intimated to the base station and the changes in the position of the estimated node should be monitored continuously. To develop an enriched swarm intelligence algorithm-based secured artificial bee colony optimizer gives a global exploration of multiple paths for carrying data transmission from the sensor to sink nodes in the absence of malicious nodes. Here, we are using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm for secured communication between the nodes in a wireless network. The novelty of this algorithm is to detect a compromised node and to reduce the authentication delay and packet loss. The theme of a scheme is to find the unhealthy or malicious cluster head nodes in the network and removing that particular node without creating any harm to the other nodes in the environment. It also helps to improve the energy efficiency and packet delivery ratio with maximum throughput in WSN.
