Mitigation of Black Hole and Selective Forwarding Attacks through Active Trust Mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks

In modern times, security remains a significant concern in wireless networks. Wireless sensor networks are widely employed different practical situations. WSNs struggle with numerous internal and external threats, detecting defending against insider attacks is difficult. Insider attacks, which intruders discard received data packets selectively, pose risk to WSNs. The presence of black hole nodes within the network causes this issue. This research paper presents secure reliable route management methodology for that selects routing paths based on trust metrics. proposed mechanism employs intelligent node selection defend various types assaults encountered during process, including selective forwarding attacks. As result, identifies routes establishes routing. scheme uses throughput, latency, packet drop ratio as performance Experimentation demonstrates system effectively increases probability while extending lifecycle.
