Abstract: Aiming at the problem of poor encryption effect of the existing wireless sensor network privacy node encryption method, a wireless sensor network privacy node encryption method is designed based on edge computing. Firstly, the wireless sensor network structure and protocol stack structure are clarified, the composition structure of privacy nodes and the set of neighbour nodes are determined, and then the privacy node sensitivity is obtained through the adjacency matrix, and the privacy node location of wireless sensor network is realised by the trilateral positioning method. Finally, the edge computing method is introduced to aggregate the number of edge nodes of privacy nodes, complete the division of privacy node datasets, set terminal encryption keys for them, and realise wireless sensor network privacy node encryption. The experimental results show that the positioning error of this method is up to 0.9%, which can effectively improve the positioning accuracy of privacy nodes and improve the security of the network.
