As wireless sensor networks (WSN) deployment are broadly spreading in various fields. Therefore security becomes a vital issue. Most of the researcher's attention is only on utility of sensor network and possibility of sensor network rather than security. In our work we do focus on security for that we consider privacy and integrity the main issues of sensor networks related to security. In WSNs, various schemes have previously introduced by various researchers to manage security, but few algorithm have been considered the privacy and integrity at both sensor nodes cluster member and CH nodes. In our work we have present a secure algorithm to control integrity and privacy at both node level and cluster head level in WSN. In our protocol we have control the integrity by watermarking technique and privacy is managed using encryption technique.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to ensure power efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) through a new framework-oriented middleware, based on a biologically inspired mechanism that uses an evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm. The authors call this middleware framework multi-objective optimization for wireless sensor networks (MONet). Design/methodology/approach In MONet, the middleware level of each network node autonomously adjusts its routing parameters according to dynamic network conditions and seeks optimal trade-offs among performance objectives for a balance of its global performance. MONet controls the cooperation between agents (network nodes) while varying transmission paths to reduce and distribute power consumption equitably on all the sensor nodes of network. MONet-runtime uses a modified TinyDDS middleware platform. Findings Simulation results confirm that MONet allows power efficiency to WSN nodes while adapting their sleep periods and self-heal false-positive sensor data. Originality/value The framework implementation is lightweight and efficient enough to run on resource-limited nodes such as sensor nodes.
