Abstract :
Wireless Sensor Network is the remote accessible network or the implementation of the network in the unattainable area to gather data from sensor nodes. The data from the network in wireless mesh topology is less secured based on the security features implemented. Any communication between the nodes are through the other nodes in the network. These motes in the network are restricted to memory and energy issues. Algorithms like symmetric key methods Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman Algorithm (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are used. It has less efficiency in terms of computation and memory size. It is also harder to implement in the Hop by hop protocol where the authenticity of the message need to pass from one node to the other with limited memory and energy where the need for security is high. So for better effective security and authentication we go for the Elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) algorithm. This method is more efficient with the key size and also more secure in terms. It is less vulnerable to security threat attacks. Modified effective implementing enhanced ECC with a features like Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) in to add more secure and effective data transfer along with the key cipher of the text information.
