Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have got researchers attention due to its various useful and helpful applications in the real world with low cost sensors. The task of the sensors is to collect data from the environment and send it to the central node (sink node). However, the power is limited in these sensors and therefore it has a limited lifetime which is a big deal in WSNs. Another important issue in WSNs is the level of security. Since these sensor nodes exchange and transmit data among the network, the security of the data can be at risk. Hence, In this poster, we propose a novel trusted and energy efficient routing protocol (TERP), which is based on the Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Protocol (DSDV). TERP can avoid any malicious nodes (untrusted nodes) and thus increase the security level in the network, and decrease the power consumption level
