Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of autonomous sensor nodes, which can predict the ambiance and act accordingly to transfer the data in adverse conditions. However, limited energy and security issues restrict the efficient communication in such networks. Art of the work presented energy-based approaches using cluster heads and security is provided using encryption. However, cluster head methodologies result in congestion, and security using encryption is difficult due to the self-organized structure. So, it degrades the performance of the network. In this paper, secure and energy-efficient method of optimization is being proposed using the Dij-Huff Method. The presented approach is validated by a network simulator.
