Internet of Things (IoT) networks consist of tiny devices with limited processing resources and restricted energy budget. These devices are connected to the world-wide web (www) using networking protocols. Considering their resource limitations, they are vulnerable to security attacks by numerous entities on the Internet. The classical security solutions cannot be directly implemented on top of these devices for this reason. However, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a classical way to protect these devices by using low-cost solutions. IDS monitors the network by introducing various metrics, and potential intruders are identified, which are quarantined by the firewall. One such metric is reputation management, which monitors the behavior of the IoT networks. However, this technique may still result in detection error that can be optimized by combining this solution with honeypots. Therefore, our aim is to add some honeypots in the network by distributing them homogeneously as well as randomly. These honeypots will team up with possible maliciously behaving nodes and will monitor their behavior. As per the simulation results, this technique reduces the error rate within the existing IDS for the IoT; however, it costs some extra energy. This trade-off between energy consumption and detection accuracy is studied by considering standard routing and MAC protocol for the IoT network.

“…Here, recent developments in communication protocol technology will be of help. An example is the new IEEE 802.15.4 protocol (see Bhar [98]) that reduces active channel listening. For that, the data frames are divided into a number of slots, and a station has to only listen at time intervals when slots dedicated to itself are transmitted.…”

Many Internet of Things (IoT) systems run on tiny connected devices that have to deal with severe processor and energy restrictions. Often, the limited processing resources do not allow the use of standard security mechanisms on the nodes, making IoT applications quite vulnerable to different types of attacks. This holds particularly for intrusion detection systems (IDS) that are usually too resource-heavy to be handled by small IoT devices. Thus, many IoT systems are not sufficiently protected against typical network attacks like Denial-of-Service (DoS) and routing attacks. On the other side, IDSs have already been successfully used in adjacent network types like Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) which, in part, face limitations similar to those of IoT applications. Moreover, there is research work ongoing that promises IDSs that may better fit to the limitations of IoT devices. In this article, we will give an overview about IDSs suited for IoT networks. Besides looking on approaches developed particularly for IoT, we introduce also work for the three similar network types mentioned above and discuss if they are also suitable for IoT systems. In addition, we present some suggestions for future research work that could be useful to make IoT networks more secure.

Carrier sense multiple access mechanism with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in IEEE 802.15.4-based wireless body area networks (WBANs) may impair the transmission reliability of emergency traffic under high traffic loads, which may result in loss of high valued medical information. Majority of the recent proposals recommend an early retransmission of failed frame while ignoring the history of past failed transmissions. More importantly, these proposals do not consider the number of failed transmissions experienced by each sensor node, thereby affecting the reliability of retransmissions. In this paper, we propose a dynamic retransmission adaptive intelligent MAC (RAI-MAC) scheme. In our proposed scheme retransmission class of each sensor node is decided by the coordinator according to the number of failed transmissions of each node as observed by the coordinator during the last superframe. Based on the retransmission class received from the coordinator, each node adjusts its next backoff value. The proposed scheme increases the probability of successful frame retransmissions without incurring extra overhead. The simulation results prove that the proposed scheme based on its adaptive retransmission mechanism achieves higher average throughput and average end-to-end delay, while not compromising on energy efficiency as compared to the IEEE 802.15.4 and Block Acknowledgment (Block Ack). Moreover, our scheme appears more stable in terms of average throughput, end-to-end delay, and energy efficiency under different values of beacon order (BO) and superframe order (SO).
