RANDOMIZATION OF PATH FOR SECURE DATA COLLECTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Abstract

Multiple paths can be created between source and destination nodes in a network by multi-path routing. If the file contents is sent
in a deterministic way the adversary might acquire the complete information hence it would lead to loss of data so we divide the
file into N packets and traverse them through various random paths. This can be implemented using the following modules
namely Purely Random Propagation, Directed Random Propagation, Non Repetitive Random Propagation, Multicast Tree-
Assisted Random Propagation. We implement a cross layer strategy mechanism which enables the user to get an acknowledgment
on packet receival and black hole acknowledgment on packet loss
