The unattended nature of wireless sensor networks (WSN) attracts many attackers to steal data from the network. Various attacks can be launched in such kind of network, out of which wormhole attack is one that focuses to tunnel creation to shorten the path length between two nodes. This paper proposes a modification to Energy-aware Secure Routing with Trust technique (ESRT) and computes the direct and indirect trust levels in a way that attack gets detected before its occurrence. The performance of the network was analyzed based on packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput and remaining energy of the network. These parameters have shown an improvement over the existing scheme.
