English Abstract

Computer Networks is a branch of computer science that is concerned with how the nodes communicate and interact with each other and the way they send data in between, such as images, videos, collected data, and other types of data.

Wireless-sensor Network (WSN) is one of these networks which is specialized in data aggregation from many sensory activities such as heat and humidity.

Using the WSNs helps the collection and exchange of data among in between sends and receive it to a specific destination for processing, analyzing and decisions making.

Routing and data aggregation protocols are considered among the main components which assist these networks and help the process of communication between WSNs.

They also help in the WSNs distribution in forms of cluster and the election of the cluster head , in addition to sending and receiving data with each other and verifying whether the WSN is dead or alive and choose the shortest way to communicate between WSNs, as well as many other functions.

An example to these protocols is Low-energy adaptive clustering Hierarchy centralized (LEACH-C) which is considered as one of the most famous routing protocols among the wireless-sensor networks due to its effective energy consumption which helps to extend the wireless-sensor network life span and its support for the data collection process and many other functions.

In this proposed thesis, we worked on a proposal to add factors that help to make improvements to the security level of wireless-sensor networks by increasing confidence and improve the reliability of the data collected by introducing a four-evaluating factors for the detection of false data readings of the WSNs and support the transfer of trustful data in and detecting any false data and the exclusion of these WSNs that are injected with fake or malicious node in order to send incorrect or misleading data which will affect the correct outcome information.

These factors are the Spatio Value (SV), which specializes in WSNs space readings, determine the space readings (measurement) and the ability to read ,the Data Abnormality the (DAB) factor, which is concerned with the reading testing environment and the data average, the Data Availability ( DAV) factor, which means that the WSNs send data (readings) at specific timings throughout the network life span, the Sensor Identification (SI) factor, which specializes in identifying the WSNs ID due to the fact that each WSN has a distinctive number in addition to a specific geographical location in each round of data collection, this factor is usually compared with a table that was created within the protocol (LEACH-C) when setting up the wireless-sensor networks.
