Two of the design criteria in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are the security and reliability of information flow, especially in critical applications. In this research, we propose combining a Crypto-System with Embedded Error Control (CSEEC) with multi-path routing for secure and reliable communication in WSNs. CSEEC is a joint encryption and error correction scheme based on erasure coding. When combined with multi-path routing, the system provides a fault-intrusion tolerant mechanism. The
more » ... l is to provide security and reliability for data transmission in multi-path routing by using a single process. The proposed system protects the confidentiality and ensures the delivery of the transmitted information when a number of communication paths fail or get compromised. 978-1-4799-0792-2/13/$31.00 ©2013 IEEE
