Summary: In this research, a trust-based secure data aggregation method and an energy-efficient secure routing protocol called ANTPSOAODV were proposed for IoT WSNs. The proposed protocol achieves secure data aggregation by detecting nodes' behavior, calculating their trust values, and implementing a data gathering method. Additionally, the protocol includes the segmentation of the network into outer and inner zones, cluster creation based on vicinity, secure data transmission using secret sharing, and analysis of the data link to minimize routing disturbance. Performance evaluation showed that ANTPSOAODV outperforms existing protocols in terms of Quality-of-Service parameters in IoT WSNs.

Summary: The Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted attention from academia, industry, and government researchers, but it faces many challenges. The Future Internet of Things (FIoT) has been discussed as a solution to these challenges. In particular, the routing Quality of Service (QoS) is a critical issue in this type of network. In this paper, the authors propose a new bio-inspired routing protocol called FIRP, which is designed for FIoT environments using the Simple Additive Weight (SAW) Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. Simulation and statistical tests show that this routing algorithm improves energy consumption, routing overhead, and minimizes end-to-end delay.
