Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a new technology that helps with a variety of practical uses, involving healthcare and monitoring the environment. In recent years, security has been considered as important topic in WSN since it is vulnerable to several security threats. Recent works uses cryptographic techniques to ensure security in WSN. In existing works, the security methodologies require high resources but still assure low level security. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a node validation method which is lightweight as well as assures high level security. The main idea behind this work is to integrate Blockchain technology with WSN environment. We presented a novel Blockchain-assisted Node Validation (BlockNode) methodology for ensuring high level security. To maintain energy efficiency, the network is segregated into multiple clusters by Valid Cluster Formation (VCF) approach. In each cluster, optimum CH is selected by using type-II fuzzy algorithm. The VCF approach only allows the valid nodes which are authorized by Blockchain validation. Then, the data transmission is secured by Jacobian Curve Encryption (JCE) algorithm. For optimal route selection, Energy-aware Reinforcement Learning (ERL) algorithm is proposed. Overall, the proposed work high level security with minimum resource consumption. The experimental results obtained from NS-3.25 simulation tool confirms that the proposed work achieves better performance in security level, encryption & decryption time, delay, energy consumption, delivery ratio and throughput.
