Abstract— Wireless Sensor Networks are one of the most popular areas of research now days. These types of networks have observed a wide variety of applications in security areas such as defense, ecological etc. These applications are highly dependent on monitoring sensitive information such as movement of particulars, detecting and tracking of location etc. Providing security in such complications has made Wireless Sensor Networks security a challenge. As sensor nodes are powered by batteries, energy efficiency becomes a critical aspect in such type of networks and because of this many security protocols proposed earlier for Wireless Sensor Networks are proved out to be expensive. In this paper, we have focused on a security protocol which provides a strong level security and also uses the battery of the sensor nodes efficiently. The proposed work is tested on confidentiality and integrity of data and authenticity in communication. This system tracks the location of sensor nodes and the location of the nodes will become the input for key generation phase. The communication between the server and the sensor will take place by encrypting the location address of the respected sensor.
