WSN adoption in Critical Infrastructures (CIs) [4][1] has advantages as easiness of deployment in hostile environments and no need for underlying infrastructures. However, their adoption is limited due to their security weaknesses for instance, the most widely adopted WSN routing protocols such as Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) [13], Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) [5], Destination Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV) [14] are designed without considering security mechanisms.

DSDV Destination-sequential distance-vector routing (Perkins, 1994). In DSDV, each node keeps a routing table containing aU ofthe possible destinations within the network in conjunction with the number of hops to each destination. The entries are marked with a sequence number assigned by the destination node so that mobile nodes can distinguish stable routes from the new ones in order to avoid routing loops. Table consistency is kept by periodical updates transmitted throughout the network.
