Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a collection of tiny distributed sensor nodes that have been used to sense the physical parameters of the environment where it has been deployed. Data dissemination is an important activity performed in WSNs in order to administer and manage them. Gossiping makes the network to transmit the same data item multiple times by multiple sensor nodes to their neighbors until they reach the required nodes which are in need of them. These multiple transmissions result in a problem called a Redundant Broadcast Storm Problem (RBSP). Moreover, the RBSP results in too many senders’ problem and also leads to the consumption of more energy in the network. In data dissemination, providing energy efficiency and security are the two major challenging issues. In such a scenario, the attackers may make use of the weakness in security provisions available in the network …
