Due to the characteristics like limited resources and dynamic topology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are facing
two major problems such as security and energy consumption. To deal with various improper behaviors of nodes the trust-based
solutions are possible but still exist a variety of attacks, high energy consumption, and communication congestion between
nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes an advanced and efficient trust-based secure and energy-efficient routing protocol
(TBSEER) to solve these network problems and to avoid malicious nodes.
