EA-RPL: A Delay-Disruption Tolerant Approach for RPL-based IoT Networks against Inimical Attacks
Keywords:
Contiki, Cooja Simulator, DoS, DTN, IoTAbstract
The IETF has introduced a protocol known as the Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) tailored for Low Power Lossy networks. RPL stands out as a lightweight routing protocol, making it particularly well-suited for IoT sensor networks. However, its lightweight nature leaves it vulnerable to various routing attacks. On the other hand, Delay Tolerant Networks represent another network category primarily focused on providing solutions that cater to delay, fault tolerance, and energy efficiency in resource-constrained environments. This paper provides a concise examination of the vulnerabilities of RPL and recognizes a resemblance in the identification of inactive nodes within a solution inspired by Delay Tolerant Networks. The research introduces a novel approach named EA-RPL, which is developed based on the monitoring of power consumption and statistical outlier analysis for identifying dormant nodes. The study involves the implementation and analysis of Flooding and DODAG Version attacks on RPL, and the simulations conducted in the Contiki OS and Cooja simulator yield promising proof-of-concept results. These results are based on the assessment of performance metrics encompassing radio duty cycle and energy consumption, which enable the successful identification of attackers.
