Abstract


In this paper, we aimed to develop a trusted secured routing Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) protocol to fight against blackhole attacks within the wireless body area network (WBAN). The trusted secure routing protocol incorporates a routing strategy based on trust value to detect malicious nodes based on their trust value, a routing technique based on node residual energy to select the node with the highest residual energy during the communication process, and a hybrid cryptography algorithm that merges the Affine cipher with the modified RSA cipher algorithm to secure communication against malevolent biomedical sensor attacks. Simulation outcomes demonstrate that the suggested protocol outperforms the traditional AODV routing protocol in all evaluation metrics, including data rate, energy consumption, and packet delivery ratio. Its main strength is that it considers several factors, like illegitimate medical sensor detection, efficient network energy use, and secure data transmission, unlike similar secured routing protocols. Furthermore, the hybrid cipher algorithm improves the effectiveness and increases the security level of sensitive data compared to traditional cipher algorithms such as the Affine cipher and the RSA cipher.
