An one-time pad cryptographic algorithm with Huffman Source Coding based energy aware sensor node design

Abstract

Recently, the security-based algorithms for energy-constrained sensor nodes are being developed to consume less energy for computation as well as communication. For the mission critical wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, continuous and secure data collection from WSN nodes is an essential task on the deployed field. Therefore, in this manuscript, One-Time Pad Cryptographic Algorithm with Huffman Source Coding Based Energy Aware sensor node Design is proposed (EA-SND-OTPCA-HSC). Before transmission, the distance among transmitter and receiver is rated available in mission critical WSN for lessen communication energy consume of sensor node. For the mission critical WSN applications, continuous and secure data collection from WSN nodes is an essential task on the deployed field. The periodic sleep/wake up scheme with Huffman source coding algorithm is used to save energy at the node level. Then, one-time pad cryptographic algorithm in each sensor node, the vernam cipher encryption technique is applied to the compact payload. The proposed technique is executed and efficacy of proposed method is assessed using Payload Vs Energy consume for one sensor node, communication energy consume for one sensor node with different distances, energy consume for one sensor node under various methods, Throughput, delay and Jitter are analyzed. Then the proposed method provides 90.12 %, 89.78 % and 91.78 % lower delay and 88.25 %, 95.34 % and 94.12 % lesser energy consumption comparing to the existing EA-SND-Hyb-MG-CUF, EA-SND-PVEH and EA-SND-PIA techniques respectively.
