Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network information privacy is regarded as a difficult challenge for this sort of network. Because of the dynamic environment of WSNs and their deployment in open regions, they are subject to a variety of cyber-attacks that might disrupt their operations. Furthermore, due to the resource constraints of sensing devices, traditional security approaches in WSNs are impracticable due to the high cost of computing, communications, and memory capacity. The security in WSN has become a significant issue in the sensor network. The data which is transmitted from one node to another must be secured to avoid a data breach by any of the attackers. The link must be secured to ensure data efficiency and greater accuracy. This paper proposes the enhanced ECC algorithm for providing identity-based key encryption in cluster-based WSNs. A separate key generation concept has been proposed here to reduce the complexity of the network. The node-to-node has less number of key generations and the cluster head-to-sink node has a larger number of key generations. The results show that the proposed work holds good in minimizing the timing requirements for key generation, computation time is less, less energy consumption communication, and better packet-to-delivery ratio.
