An Impact Of Learning Behavior And Creativity Quotient In Learning Environment

Abstract: Wireless sensor networks are widely used for various real time applications due to the technological innovations in this domain. The applications of WSN include monitoring wildlife habitat, military and civilian applications where monitoring is essential without human intervention. These applications need complete security as they are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks. The security and protection of data transmission in WSN are to be performed keeping the resources and life time of network in mind. The lifetime of WSN is less as the nodes are resource constrained. For this reason controlling the nodes with human intervention is not a feasible solution. In this paper we present a novel security protocol that prevents security threats to WSNs. The proposed protocol can prevent various kinds of attacks such as cloning attack, man in the middle attack and replay attack. The protocol works efficiently without causing security problems as it is zero knowledge based. . Our scheme also prevents passive attacks such as monitoring and eavesdropping, traffic analysis and camouflages adversaries. The empirical results show that the proposed protocol is very effective to protect WSN.
