In recent years, source location privacy has become significant challenge in Wireless sensor networks.Source location privacy is to hide the physical location of the actual source and makes it more complex for an adversaryto trace back the path to the source location. Radio frequency Localization Techniques can be used by adversaries sothat they can trace reverse path hop-by-hop from sink to source and identify the source. Many privacy related techniquessuch as Phantom routing, cloud based routing, Tree based diversionary routing etc have been established, but still thereexits some problem in terms of source location privacy. Hence, to preserve source location privacy and to maintainenergy efficiency, Multiple k-hop clusters based routing strategy (MHCR) can be used. In this scheme, variousinterference clusters are formed in entire network. Each sensor in cluster acts as a Fake source. Due to this adversariesget confused and unable to trace the reverse path towards source. Also cluster heads are used to filter dummy trafficformed by Fake sources so that there is no rise in energy consumption in hotspot of network. MHCR provides energyefficiency without reducing network Lifetime and preserves source location privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks.
