Multimedia applications are gradually becoming an essential—and flourishing—part of our daily lives. The area of wireless sensor networks is not an exception to this trend, as multimedia data have attracted the attention of researchers. Their importance is due to the shift of focus from traditional scalar sensors to sensors equipped with multimedia devices, as well as to the next-generation wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). The highly sensitive nature of multimedia traffic makes data routing with security even more important in WMSNs. This paper discusses the challenges of secure routing in WMSNs, where most of the proposed works in the literature deal with routing and security as individual issues. A critical and comprehensive review of state-of-the-art routing and security approaches for WMSNs is presented, followed by the discussion of their limitations and features. It is hoped that this extensive review and discussion ultimately identifies the future research directions and the open challenges of secure routing approaches in WMSNs.

“…In the first category, a small density WSN with 49 nodes, simulation is performed with 4 malicious nodes (1,3,5,7), and then in the next category of simulation, 4 more malicious nodes are added (10,18,21,23), and in the third category further 4 malicious nodes are added (20, 12,15,13). In the end, there are a total of 12 malicious nodes as shown in Fig.1 (a).…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are often deployed in remote and hostile areas and because of their limited power and vulnerability, the sensors may stop functioning after sometime leading to the appearance of holes in a network. A hole created by the non-functioning sensors in turn severs the connection between one side and the other side of the network and alternative routes need to be found for the network traffic. Prior research tackled the holes problem only when packets reach some nodes near the hole. In this case, the feedback packets are generated and accordingly the data packets need to be rerouted to avoid the holes. The traffic overhead for rerouting consumes additional battery power and thus increases the communication cost as well as reducing the lifetime of the sensors. To deal with the dynamical changes in network topologies in an autonomous manner, ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms have shown very good performance in routing the network traffic. In this paper, we analyze the scalability and stability of the ACO-based routing protocol BIOSARP against the issues caused by holes in WSNs. Network simulator 2 (ns-2) is utilized to perform the analysis. Findings clearly demonstrate that BIOSARP can efficiently maintain the data packet routing over a WSN prior to any possible holes problems, by switching data forwarding to the most optimal neighboring node.
