Abstract
The unattended nature of WSNs makes them very vulnerable to malicious attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel approach of secure data collection for WSN. We explore secret sharing and multipath routing to achieve secure data collection in a WSN with compromised nodes. We propose to use a novel tracing-feedback mechanism, which makes full use of the routing functionality of WSN, to improve the quality of data collection. The algorithms of the approach are easy to be implemented and performed in WSN. We also evaluate the approach with a simulation experiment and analyze the simulation results in detail. We illustrate that the approach is efficient to support secure data collection in wireless sensor network.
