RANDOMIZATION OF PATH FOR SECURE DATA COLLECTION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Multiple paths can be created between source and destination nodes in a network by multi - path routing. If the file contents is sent in a deterministic way the adversary might acquire the complete information hence it would lead to loss of data so we divide the file into N packets and traverse them through various random paths. This can be implemented using the following modules namely Purely Random Propagation, Directed Random Propagation, Non Repetitive Random Propagation, Multicast Tree - Assisted Random Pr opagation. We implement a cross layer strategy mechanism which enables the user to get an acknowledgment on packet receival and black hol e acknowledgment on packet loss
