The wireless sensor network is a collection of sensor nodes that operate collectively to gather sensitive data from a target area. In the process of data collection the location of sensor nodes from where data is originated matters for taking any decision at the base station. Location i.e. the coordinates of a sensor node need to be shared among other nodes in many circumstances such as in key distribution phase, during routing of packets and many more. Secrecy of the location of every sensor node is important in any such cases. Therefore, there must be a location sharing scheme that facilitates the sharing of location among sensor nodes securely. In this paper, we have proposed a novel secure and robust mechanism for location sharing scheme using 2-threshold secret sharing scheme. The implementation process of the proposed model is shown here along with results and analysis.
