Energy Efficient Secure Multicast Group Communications For Iot Applications Using WSN

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest industry buzzwords and it uses actuator networks (WSNs) as its backbone. Using node-to-node communication in the form of multicasting and broadcasting is needed in the energy-constrained nodes in IoT. To make secure group communication for the group of nodes we propose a less energy efficient protocol for making a secured multicast group communication using WSN.  The applications of this protocol is examined and rationalized by a systematic analysis of the performance metrics based on three different parameters such as packet loss, overhead and cost using NS3 simulation based on different destination nodes.
