T-TRAIL: Preventing Decreased Rank Attacks in RPL-based IoT Networks

The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) has gained in popularity since the increased connectivity of everyday items to the Internet. One of the discovered attacks on RPL is the rank attack, which opens up possibilities for attackers to control traffic in the RPL network by spoofing their priority. Many solutions have been...

RPL Attack Analysis: Evaluation of a Cryptography-Based Sybil Defence in IEEE 802.15.4

While the Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is built to support the constraints of low-powered devices, it struggles to meet the standards in security. Generally, low-powered devices are challenged with limited cryptography, tough key management, and interoperability issues. Despite these concerns, security is not only...

STIR: Preventing Routing Table Overload Attacks in RPL-based IoT Networks

Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is a routing protocol for Internet of Things (IoT) devices with limited resources. As IoT is becoming prevalent, it is important to secure the underlying protocols that compose it such as RPL. This paper sought to avoid an RPL-specific routing attack by modifying the protocol's...

The performance of the routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks in mobile networks

The IPv6 routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks (RPL) is a routing protocol that is standardized for constrained devices. This standard only considers static nodes and consequently underperforms in networks with moving nodes. Several studies exist intending to mend this problem, but analyses of RPL's performance in mobile situations...

Effect of DIS Attack on 6TiSCH Network Formation

The 6TiSCH standard provides minimum latency and reliability in mission-critical IoT applications. To optimize resource allocation during 6TiSCH network formation, IETF released the 6TiSCH minimal configuration (6TiSCH-MC) standard. 6TiSCH-MC considered IETF's IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy network (RPL) as a routing protocol...

RPL-based Passive OS Fingerprinting in Low-power and Lossy Wireless Sensor Networks

Since the introduction of networking protocols for Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLN), many implementations have been created in the form of (real-time) Operating Systems (OS), simplifying their usage and making the technology more widely available. The low cost and low complexity of LLNs allow for large-scaled wireless sensor deployments,...
