Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been identified as being useful in a variety of domains such as environment monitoring, target tracking, etc. Time synchronization is an important component of sensor networks to provide a common clock time in sensor nodes. Time synchronization protocols provide a mechanism for synchronizing the local clocks of the nodes in a sensor network. Some of the sensor nodes may be malicious, which can disrupt the normal operation of a sensor network. In this paper, we find out malicious nodes out of existing nodes and propose multi-hop time synchronization based secure protocol for a group of non-malicious nodes.
