Abstract

In recent times, the wireless sensor network (WSN) has become an integral part of daily life. WSN forms the necessary foundation for several important applications such as animal monitoring, border surveillance, asset monitoring, etc. These applications help maintain the confidentiality of the location of the occurring event from the attacker. The properties of the sensor nodes such as limited energy source, communication capability, memory, and network deployment at a large scale make it challenging to maintain the location privacy of a source node. To secure the source node location, this paper presents a source location privacy protection scheme that is based on random rings and a limited hop fake packet routing scheme (SLP-RRFPR). In the proposed scheme, an event packet is forwarded away from the base station by the random routing with confounding transmission to change the attacker’s backtracking process. Afterward, it follows the random routing, where the phantom node forwards the fake packet to other randomly selected nodes. In the last phase, a real packet is transmitted at the base station by ring routing. The simulation results of the proposed SLP-RRFPR are compared with phantom, baseline, probabilistic, source location privacy protection scheme based on ring-loop routing (SLPRR), and source location protection protocol based on dynamic routing (SLPDR). The simulation results show that the proposed SLP-RRFPR performs better than the compared protocol for various performance metrics, such as safety time, transmission delay, network lifetime, and randomness in the packet path.
