Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have started appearing in our daily life including home, office, industry and vehicles to name a few. The incremental usage of WSN for environmental monitoring comes across various types of attacks and security threats. Due to its dynamic topology, highly decentralized infrastructure and resource constraint sensors, proper energy utilization becomes a challenging issue. Energy conservation measures are essential for increasing the lifetime of the Wireless Sensor networks and hence to improve the performance of WSNs. Here we propose an improved PSO-Based secured Clustering Energy Optimization algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network in which clustering and clustering head selection is done by using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with respect to minimizing the power consumption in WSN.
