Trust Based Secured Routing Mechanisms in Internet Of Things

Abstract

In recent years, the popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) has risen as an emerging technology with its applications in all parts of the daily lives. However, IoT faces inherent resource and computing constraints, which introduces several challenges in the network. One of the major concerns is security, where security attacks exploit the vulnerabilities of it to perform malicious activities in the network. Even though many research works focus on providing security in the RPL network, the resource constraints in terms of data storage and power that reduces their potential in providing adequate security mechanisms. In addition to the traditional security issues, the need to confirm the trust ability and cooperativeness of all nodes is also a crucial requirement for properly maintaining the network functionality. The proposed contributions provide effective detection mechanisms for detecting severe security attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, selective forwarding attacks, and malicious dropping attacks to solve issues. newline
