In wireless sensor networks, it is crucial to design and employ energy-efficient communication protocols, since nodes are battery-powered and thus their lifetimes are limited.Such constraints combined with a great number of applications used in these networks, pose many challenges (limited energy, low security…) to the design and management of wireless sensor networks.These challenges necessitate a great attention.In this paper, we present a new version of Directed Diffusion routing protocol which provides both security and energy efficiency together in wireless sensor networks.
