“…It should be noted that the operating systems and communications protocols used by these gadgets are usually designed to have minimal footprint. ContikiOS [6] and TinyOS [7] are two popular IoT operating systems that have their respective open source RPL implementations [8] as lightweight communication protocol for IoT devices that became a standard by IETF [9].…”

In domains such as telehealth, intelligent transportation, and autonomous agriculture, ensuring secure routing of collected and exchanged data is paramount. Since its inception, there have been many research challenges for the RLP routing protocol that operates in resource-constrained environments and utilizes battery-powered IoT devices. Hence, researchers have focused on this crucial challenge by advising solutions to mitigate attacks that deplete nodes' energy and hence create energy gaps in the network. In this article, we study the impact of two energy exhaustion attacks (hello flooding and version number modification) on the RPL protocol and we present a novel mitigation solution based on behavioural trust. We present an in-depth study of the impact on radio energy consumption of the hello flooding and version number modification attacks in RPL as the number of network nodes increases. We showed that the impact of the former is localized to nodes in the vicinity of the attacker while the latter has a global impact that extends to the entire network. The obtained results from our simulations show that version number modification attack in particular has devastating impact on the network. We also propose a trust-based solution to mitigate these attacks and demonstrate its effectiveness. Accordingly, we conduct comparative study of these attacks and empirically investigate their impact on network performance by running extensive evaluation experiments. Our findings verify the effectiveness of our proposed trust system in mitigating both attacks.

The security landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) networks continues to draw significant attention from recent networks; the Version Number Attack (VNA) stands out as a prominent threat to IoT network resources. Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Network structures low-power and lossy networks through one or more Destination Oriented Directed Acyclic Graphs (DODAGs). Each DODAG is assigned a version number, serving the purpose of ensuring the existence of loop-free paths to the root node. In the event of any inconsistency detected by the root node, the version number is incremented, triggering a global repair process and the reconstruction of the Directed Acyclic Graph. A potential security concern arises when a malicious node advertises a false version number in its control message, compelling the initiation of a global repair process. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the VNA’s impact, considering various parameters that have not been explored in previous research articles. These parameters include an examination of the additional forwarding tasks introduced by the attack and an exploration of factors contributing to node hyperactivity (such as loops, local and global repairs, etc.). The article delves into the specific control messages that result in the detrimental effects of the attack, offering a detailed analysis of control overhead, energy consumption, Packet Delivery Ratio, and latency. The obtained results show that the DAO (Destination Advertisement Object) messages dominate the total control overhead and are the main contributor to the total consumer energy, where the closest the malicious node to the sink the more damaging is the attack.
