Abstract: Many experts and scholars focus on the Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) equation, which can reflect the interrelationship among the multi-input arguments. It has been generalized to different fuzzy environments and put into use in various actual decision problems. The fuzzy data intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (FNIFNs) could well depict the uncertainties and fuzziness during the security evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). And the WSN security evaluation is frequently viewed as the multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) issue. In this paper, we expand the generalized Maclaurin symmetric mean (GMSM) equation with FNIFNs to propose the fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy generalized MSM (FNIFGMSM) equation and fuzzy number intuitionistic fuzzy weighted generalized MSM (FNIFWGMSM) equation in this study. A few MADM tools are developed with FNIFWGMSM equation. Finally, taking WSN security evaluation as an example, this paper illustrates effectiveness of the depicted approach. Moreover, by comparing and analyzing the existing methods, the effectiveness and superiority of the FNIFWGMSM method are further certified.
