Abstract: A huge collection of sensed data is transacted in Wireless Sensor Networks. This sensed data are reported to the sink. These sinks can be predefined data rendezvous points via multi hop communications. Basically WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) plays a key role in applications such as military, remote sensing, etc. Attackers may locate the sink easily by reading the destination field in the packet header or predicting the arrival of the sinks. Data are forwarded along random paths and stored at intermediate points. A random data collection scheme was used to protect the location privacy of mobile sinks in wireless sensor networks. By the sink will move randomly to collect data from local nodes. The goal of the system is to prevent the attackers from predicting their locations and movement of the sink is private. We also protect the sink by data collection at random time intervals and unequal visiting probability.
