Abstract

With the boost of IoT, WSNs have been a well-liked know-how. However, due to WSNs' open and unmonitored nature, security vulnerabilities pose a significant problem. In this article, aiming at SLP, a major security problem, we propose the CASLP protection scheme in WSNs for IoT. To increase the scope of the transmitting path, the source starts the random walk in a given direction. Then, to maintain CASLP convergence, nodes only select their next relay nodes in a specific range. Last, to further improve SLP, we concatenate arcs from several rings around the sink to form a new closed loop. Compared to a ringbased routing scheme, CASLP can reduce delays and energy consumption at the minor expense of safety time in WSNs.
