Abstract

This paper proposes CLUSMA: a middleware framework for communication between sensor nodes in Wireless sensor network. Our proposed technique is based on clustering technique (CLUS) and it uses Mobile Agent (MA). This paper gives a sketch of the middleware and the actual implementation of the framework are in progress. The main objective of this middleware is to utilize the networks functions and resources in an effective way. Because the proposed framework is based on MA it will work in homogenous as well as heterogeneous environment. Previous such frameworks used symmetric secret key for sensor nodes authentication. The proposed framework will provide security in heterogeneous environment by using mobile agents in a cluster which will communicate with agents in other cluster.
