Abstract
In wireless sensor networks, the convergence node (sink node) is the center of the network, all network data will be transmitted to the sink node, it will process and extract effective information, which leads to the uneven distribution of traffic. An external attacker who can monitor traffic will find the location of the convergent node and attack it according to this feature. In order to protect the location of the sink node in the wireless sensor network, a privacy protection protocol based on K anonymous false packet injection (KAFP) is proposed. The protocol randomly generates K false sink nodes, transmits real data to the sink node and transmits false data to the false sink node. By hiding the location of the sink node, the security time is increased. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results show that KAFP can protect privacy of convergent nodes at lower energy consumption when the value of K is properly selected.
