The ubiquitous sensor network consists of micro sensors with wireless communication capabilities. Compared to wired communication, wireless communication is more subject to eavesdropping as well as data variation and manipulation. Accordingly, there must be efforts to secure the information delivered over the sensor network. Providing security to the sensor network, however, requires additional energy consumption, which is an important issue since energy transformation is difficult to implement in a sensor network. This paper proposes a routing mechanism based on the energy-efficient cluster that features security functions capable of safely processing the data acquired from the sensor network. The proposed algorithm reduces energy consumption by fixing the clusters formed at the initial stage and using the pre-distribution scheme so that the cluster and node keys generated and exchanged at the initial stage are not re-generated or re-exchanged. Simulation experiments confirmed that the proposed approach reduces energy consumption compared to implementing security measures to the conventional cluster-based routing mechanism.
