This document summarizes a seminar on secure and efficient data transmission for cluster-based wireless sensor networks. It introduces wireless sensor networks and describes their centralized and hierarchical network architectures. It reviews previous work on the LEACH clustering protocol and its pros and cons. It then proposes two new secure transmission protocols called SET-IBS and SET-IBOOS that use identity-based signatures and offline/online signatures respectively to authenticate data transmitted between sensor nodes and cluster heads. The document analyzes the performance and security of the proposed protocols and discusses their applications and potential for future work.
