Despite the rapid advancement of WSN, where an increasing number of physical devices so called as sensors nodes are connected with each other, providing the improved security with optimized energy consumption during data transmission, communication and computation remains huge challenge. In wireless sensor networks, numerous sensor nodes are deployed in the physical environment to sense and collect the required information from the given environment. The sensed information is needed to be transmitted from the nodes to the control station in an energy efficient manner. Data aggregation is one kind of techniques which will optimize the energy usage in wireless sensor networks during the data transmission. In data aggregation, the unnecessary data is removed which will significantly reduce energy of the nodes during data transmission. However, collected data during the data aggregation should be completely protected and there are various threats that can be launched by the intruders to carry out unauthorised data access and can cause threat to the integrity of the network. Therefore, ensuring data security during the data aggregation process is very important and essential for the security of the network. In this paper, a Secure Cluster based Data Aggregation Protocol (SCDAP) have been proposed to provide better security through secure authentication and verification process, and to reduce overall energy consumption of the network by implementing secure clustering process to eliminate the redundant data in the network. Moreover, the proposed system is more efficient in generating public and private keys for effective and secure data transmission and verification process. The proposed system is experimentally tested in NS-3 tool and proves that the proposed system reduces high energy consumption, computational and communicational cost, end-to-end delay and improves the packet delivery ratio. Moreover, the proposed system provides better security in the network when compared to other existing systems during the data aggregation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jifs-223256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]],"date-time":"2022-12-02T10:42:10Z","timestamp":1669977730000},"page":"4747-4757","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["SCDAP \u2013secured cluster based data aggregation protocol for energy efficient communication in wireless sensor networks"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"G.","family":"Lavanya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Science and Technology, College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.L.","family":"Velammal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Kulothungan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Science and Technology, College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1016\/j.future.2017.10.045","article-title":"A new architecture of Internet of Things and big dataecosystem for secured smart healthcare monitoring and alertingsystem","volume":"82","author":"Manogaran","year":"2018","journal-title":"Future Gener Comput Syst"},{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144433","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2019.2944631","article-title":"Fully secure lightweight certificateless signature scheme for IIoT","volume":"7","author":"Rezaeibagha","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"845","DOI":"10.1007\/s11276-017-1597-8","article-title":"A combined public-key scheme in the case of attribute-based for wireless body area networks","volume":"25","author":"Hong","year":"2019","journal-title":"Wireless Netw"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8714","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2019.2923261","article-title":"Secure data aggregation of lightweight e-Healthcare IoT devices with fair incentives","volume":"6","author":"Tang","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Internet Things J"},{"issue":"6","key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9555","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2019.2929803","article-title":"Blind batch encryption-based protocol for secure and privacy preserving medical services in smart connected health","volume":"6","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Internet Things J"},{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Boneh D. , Goh E. and Nissim K. , Evaluating 2-DNF formulas on ciphertexts, in Proc 2nd Conf Theory Cryptography (TCC), Cambridge, MA, USA, Feb. 2005, pp. 325\u2013341.","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-30576-7_18"},{"key":"10.3233\/JIFS-223256_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gentry C.
