Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have become a vital technology for monitoring and tracking applications across various applications. It senses an environment, gathers data, and transmits it to the Base Station (BS) for analysis. However, energy efficiency and security are challenging because of an open environment and a limited battery source. This research proposes a Multi-objective Trust-Aware Golf Optimization Algorithm (M-TAGOA) to achieve a secure and energy-efficient clustering and routing process in WSN. M-TAGOA chooses a Secure Cluster Head (SCH) depending on the distance between the neighbor nodes, the distance between BS and CH, node degree, and trust threshold like direct, indirect, and recommendation trust are the multi-objective functions. Then, secure routing is determined by M-TAGOA with energy and distance. Hence, the M-TAGOA prevents malicious nodes, which enhances data delivery and avoids excessive energy consumption. M-TAGOA achieves less consumption of energy at 0.05 mJ compared to existing techniques like Neuro-Fuzzy-based clustering with Sparrow Search Optimization Algorithm (NF-SSOA).

Keywords:
