there are many simulators like Tossim,NS2,NS3....etc but i want to know that which simulator is best and easy to use for simulation of privacy preservation techniques in wsn?
An ad hoc network is formed by mobile computers (nodes) with wireless interfaces that communicate amongst themselves without the help of any infrastructure. Due to their characteristics, the ad hoc networks are prone to the presence of malicious nodes that can degrade the performance. This fact motivated the appearance of security protocols that implement mechanisms to avoid attacks like DoS. This article accomplished a verification of the impact caused in the performance of the ad hoc networks with the use of security protocols (SEAD and Ariadne) in relation to the use of protocols that don't have security mechanisms (DSDV and DSR). First an ad hoc network is simulated using these routing protocols and soon afterwards a comparative study is accomplished through graphs of the values obtained for each basic QoS metrics...

In fact, it depends on what kind of privacy preservation problem you want to solve. NS-2 only provides basic network support environment, may not necessarily suitable for the simulation.
Sir,Hang!i am working on source location privacy preservation in wireless sensor networks,,so please recommend me the best simulator which is easy to use for simulation.
