Our world converts to a huge urn of digital data through wireless networks. Since the beginning of the third Millennium, wireless sensor networks created an increasing attention to military applications, industrial applications, and research viewpoints. It is necessary to deliver security to the information that to share over the wireless networks. In addition, wireless sensor network nodes are resources constrained, such as restricted battery energy, limited computational operations, and small memory size. Elliptic curve cryptography is the best appropriate algorithm for wireless sensor network as it provides better security for minimal key sizes, faster computations, reductions in processing power, minimal storage space, and low bandwidth rate consumption. However, Elliptic Curve's main problem is that the encoding expends more resources, needs for additional memory, and more encryption time. This paper introduces a novel algorithm is suitable to secure exchanging data of wireless sensor network.
