Routing in Sensor Networks: Performance and Security in Clustered Networks

Due to high restrictions in sensor network, where the resources are limited, clustering protocols for routing organization have been proposed in much research for increasing system throughput, decreasing system delay and saving energy. Even these algorithms have proposed some levels of security, but because of their dynamic nature of communication, most of their security solutions are not suitable. In this paper the authors focus on how to apply the highest possible level of security to sensor networks and at the same time increase the performance of these networks by changing the way that sensors communicate with each other.
