Abstract

Secure and trustable routing is one of the remarkable challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we proposed a secure, trustable and energy-efficient routing method for WSNs. The proposed scheme uses Fuzzy logic to obtain the trust values of the routes. Then, the shortest route from the source to the destination was selected by considering trust and security. The proposed method uses the multidimensional scaling-map (MDS-MAP) optimal routing approach and measures the trust model via fuzzy logic. The proposed method was compared with Trust and Centrality degree Based Access Control (TC-BAC) and Trust-Aware Routing Framework (TARF) protocols. Through simulation experiment result, we show that the proposed scheme performs better than TC-BAC and TARF methods in terms of average packet delivery rate, average end-to-end delay and consumption energy.
