Abstract: WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) is a network of devices which can transfer the data collected from an examined field via wireless links. Thus secure data transmission is required for accurate transfer of data from source to destination as data passes through various intermediate nodes. The study intends to perform shortest, secure path routing on the basis of trust through novel Hybridized Crow Whale Optimization (H-CWO) and QoS based bipartite Coverage Routing (QOS-CR) as well as to analyze the system’s performance. Nodes are randomly deployed in the network area. Initially, a trust metric formation is implemented via novel H-CWO and the authenticated nodes are selected. Then through the secure routing protocol, Cluster head (CH) is selected to perform clustering. Neighbourhood hop prediction is executed to determine the shortest path routing and secure data transfer is performed through novel QOS-CR. The proposed system is analyzed by comparing it with various existing methods in terms of delay, throughput, energy and alive nodes. The results attained from comparative analysis revealed the efficiency of the proposed system. The proposed novel H-CWO and QOS-CR exhibited minimum delay, high throughput, energy and maximum alive nodes thereby ensuring safe transmission of data from source node to destination node.
