- This paper proposes a new top-down hierarchical, multi-hop, secure routing protocol for the wireless sensor network, which is resilient to report fabrication attack. The report fabrication attack tries to generate bogus reports by compromising the sensor nodes to mislead the environment monitoring application executed by randomly deployed wireless sensor nodes. The proposed protocol relies on symmetric key mechanism which is appropriate for random deployment of wireless sensor nodes. In the proposed protocol, base station initiates the synthesis of secure hierarchical topology using top down approach. The enquiry phase of the protocol provides assurance for the participation of all the cluster heads in secure hierarchical topology formation. Further, this methodology takes care of failure of head node or member node of a cluster. This protocol ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the final report of the monitoring application. The simulation results demonstrate the scalability of the proposed protocol.
