Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) extends the advantages of small price, quick employment, and shared transaction medium, although it induces a lot of security and secrecy challenges. In this paper, the Elliptic Curve Cryptography based Secure Data Communication and Enhance sensor Reliability (SDER) in WSN. In this scheme, an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Weierstrass function is used to verify the sensor reliability, and ECC cryptography technique is useful for providing the data security in the network. The simulation result demonstrates that the SDER reduces both the packet loss rate and the network delay.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are a collection of autonomous collection of motes. Sensor motes are usually Low computational and low powered. In WSN Sensor motes are used to collect environmental data collection and pass that data to the base station. Data aggregation is a common technique widely used in wireless sensor networks. [2] Data aggregation is the process of collecting the data from multiple sensor nodes by avoiding the redundant data transmission and that collected data has been sent to the base station (BS) in single route. Secured data aggregation deals with Securing aggregated data collected from various sources. Many secured data aggregation algorithms has been proposed by many researchers. Symmetric key based cryptography schemes are not suitable when wireless sensor network grows. Here we are proposing an approach to secured data aggregation in wireless sensor networks using Asymmetric key based Elliptic Curve cryptography technique. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) [1] is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. Elliptic Curve Cryptography requires smaller keys compared to non-Elliptic curve cryptography (based on plain Galois fields) to provide equivalent security. The proposed technique of secure data aggregation is used to improve the sensor network lifetime and to reduce the energy consumption during aggregation process.

Applying asymmetric key security to wireless sensor network (WSN) has been challenging task for the researcher of this field. One common trade-off is that asymmetric key architecture does provide good enough security than symmetric key but on the other hand, sensor network has some resource limitations to implement asymmetric key approach. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has significant advantages than other asymmetric key system like RSA, D-H etc. The most important feature of ECC is that it has much less bit requirement and at the same time, ensures better security compared to others. Hence, ECC can be a better option for implementing asymmetric key approach for sensor network. We propose a new cryptosystem which is based on Pseudo-inverse matrix and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. We establish a relationship between these two different concepts and evaluate our proposed system on the basis of the results of similar works as well as our own simulation done in TinyOS environment.
