“…Two additional security schemes to PS There is no energy efficient attack against B-MAC which means that the attacker is awake most of the time. However, this framework has not been simulated/tested; prevent fragmentation attacks were proposed in [43]. In the content chaining scheme receiving node uses cryptographic mechanisms to verify that received fragments belong to the same packet, while the split buffer approach promotes direct competition between legitimate nodes and an attacker in using deficient buffer resources.…”

Abstract-The increasing pervasiveness of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in diverse application domains including critical infrastructure systems, sets an extremely high security bar in the design of WSN systems to exploit their full benefits, increasing trust while avoiding loss. Nevertheless, a combination of resource restrictions and the physical exposure of sensor devices inevitably cause such networks to be vulnerable to security threats, both external and internal. While several researchers have provided a set of open problems and challenges in WSN security and privacy, there is a gap in the systematic study of the security implications arising from the nature of existing communication protocols in WSNs. Therefore, we have carried out a deep-dive into the main security mechanisms and their effects on the most popular protocols and standards used in WSN deployments i.e. IEEE 802.15.4, B-MAC, 6LoWPAN, RPL, BCP, CTP, and CoAP, where potential security threats and existing countermeasures are discussed at each layer of WSN stack. This work culminates in a deeper analysis of network layer attacks deployed against the RPL routing protocol. We quantify the impact of individual attacks on the performance of a network using the Cooja network simulator. Finally, we discuss new research opportunities in network layer security and how to use Cooja as a benchmark for developing new defenses for WSN systems.

Abstract. The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of resource-constrained devices (e.g., sensors and actuators) which form low power and lossy networks to connect to the Internet. With billions of devices deployed in various environments, IoT is one of the main building blocks of future Internet of Services (IoS). Limited power, processing, storage and radio dictate extremely efficient usage of these resources to achieve high reliability and availability in IoS. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks aim to misuse the resources and cause interruptions, delays, losses and degrade the offered services in IoT. DoS attacks are clearly threats for availability and reliability of IoT, and thus of IoS. For highly reliable and available IoS, such attacks have to be prevented, detected or mitigated autonomously. In this study, we propose a comprehensive investigation of Internet of Things security for reliable Internet of Services. We review the characteristics of IoT environments, cryptography-based security mechanisms and D/DoS attacks targeting IoT networks. In addition to these, we extensively analyze the intrusion detection and mitigation mechanisms proposed for IoT and evaluate them from various points of view. Lastly, we consider and discuss the open issues yet to be researched for more reliable and available IoT and IoS.

“…Using AES-CCM is only applicable to the ESP, and does not apply to the AH method, using only the EID value 101.AES-CCM with IPsec security encryption can be used in multi group encryption mode, including the CBC-MAC(Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code) mode [9]. Literature [10] made a detailed security analysis of the 6LoWPAN fragmentation mechanism, identified the two kinds of attack methods in 6LoWPAN design level. The author proposes two countermeasures against such attacks, namely the content link method and the split cache method.…”

Introduce6LoWPAN technology enable wireless sensor network node to be equal and free to access to the Internet. At the same time, the Internet hosts can transparently access node of the Internet of things, it streamlined the part of the function of the IPv6 protocol, retain and simplifies necessary part, while clipping and delete non-essential part [1]. This has very important for achieving full integration of IoT and IPv6-based Internet. Mutual integration of Internet and IoT can form a real IP network, in order to obtain needed information through a terminal at any time and place. This is good prospect in future information society. The use of 6LoWPAN technology will effectively solve the problem of accessing the nodes of IoT perception layer to Internet, to achieve the sensor network peripheral nodes IP-based [2]. The IoT terminals are a large number of sensor nodes and wireless nodes, most of which have mobility. Currently, some research at home and abroad carry out a wide range of improving the mobility of the IoT in the access point switching delay and transmission efficiency of exploration, the terminal node usage scenarios is increasing, the performance is further improved.Due to the limitations of personal area network technology, originally designed for its security is not adequate enough, IoT or low-power network terminal devices and data is highly easier to attack. Mainly reflected in the network using self-organization network and lack of proper authentication mechanisms, the local node in the connections between nodes without any restrictions, and the network is relying on wireless media, messages can be received by any node, which means that malicious users can copy or disguise a
