SECURE ROUTING PROTOCOL IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: A SURVEY

Due to its wide application, the use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is now increasing for a day. The WSNs are capable of reconfiguration, unlike standard networks, whenever there is a defect in the network. However, because of its lack of security, data loss occurs during routing in these networks. With the help of routing protocols, network communication is initialized and achieved. A routing protocol is a collection of rules that govern the phenomenon of routing. Because of their excessive scope of improvement, WSN protocols for routing have been the researchers' omnipresent choice in recent years. A routing protocol aims to search for an appropriate route between sender and recipient to achieve successful transmission at the destination. One of the main points of research gaps has always been the dissipation of energy and the lengthening network duration. Because a battery operates the nodes in WSNs, they can only use limited energy to continue communication and transmission. Several researchers have come up with developments in energy efficiency and WSN routing protocols to cope with this. In this paper, a reify summary of some protocols for routing purposes has been manifested.
