ABSTRACT = {Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to safety threats due to 
cumulative dependence upon transmission, computing, and control 
mechanisms. Therefore, securing the end-to-end communication becomes a 
major area of research in WSNs. A majority of existing protocols are based 
upon signature and recommended-based trust evaluation techniques only. 
However, these techniques are vulnerable to wormhole attacks that happen due 
to lesser synchronization between the sensor nodes. Therefore, to handle this 
problem, a novel hybrid crossover-based ant colony optimization-based routing 
protocol is proposed. An integrated modified signature and recommendationbased trust evaluation protocol for WSNs is presented. Extensive experiments 
reveal that the proposed technique outperforms existing protocols in terms of 
network lifetime, bandwidth, and execution time.},
