The Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly growing, and many security issues relate to its wireless technology. These security issues are challenging because IoT protocols are heterogeneous, suit different needs, and are used in different application domains. From this assessment, we identify the need to provide a homogeneous formalism applying to every IoT protocols. In this survey, we describe a generic approach with twofold challenges. The first challenge we tackle is the identification of common principles to define a generic approach to compare IoT protocol stack. We base the comparison on five different criteria: the range, the openness of the protocol, the interoperability, the topology and the security practices of these IoT protocols. The second challenge we consider is to find a generic way to describe fundamental IoT attacks regardless of the protocol used. This approach exposes similar attacks amongst different IoT protocols and is divided into three parts: attacks focusing on packets (passive and active cryptographic attacks), attacks focusing on the protocol (MITM, Flooding, Sybil, Spoofing, Wormhole attacks) and attacks focusing on the whole system (Sinkhole, Selective forwarding attacks). It also highlights which mechanisms are different between two protocols to make both of them vulnerable to an attack. Finally, we draw some lessons and perspectives from this transversal study.

“…To ensure that the packet loss is due to misbehaviour and not due to bad channel quality, the nodes use one time retransmission techniques. Similarly, using the monitoring information of the nodes about the data packets forwarding, a trust-based intrusion detection system based on RPL is presented in [21], to countermeasure mobile sybil attacks in IoT networks.…”

Routing Protocol for low power and Lossy networks (RPL) is a standardized routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (LLNs) such as Internet of Things (IoT). RPL is designed to be a simple (but efficient) and practical networking protocol to perform routing in scalable IoT networks that consists of thousands of resource constrained devices. These tiny intercommunicating devices are currently in use in a large array of IoT application services (e.g., eHealth, smart agriculture, smart grids, and home automation). However, the lack of scalability, the low communication reliability, and the vulnerability towards various security threats still remains significant challenges in the broader adoption of RPL in LLNs.In this paper, we propose RECOUP, a reliable group communication routing protocol for IoT networks. RECOUP efficiently uses a low-overhead cluster-based multicast routing technique on top of the RPL protocol. RECOUP increases the probability of message delivery to the intended destination(s), irrespective of the network size and faults (such as broken links or nonresponsive nodes), and in the presence of misbehaving nodes. We show that the cluster-based routing mechanism of RECOUP remains robust in presence of various topology (i.e., rank and sybil) and data communication (i.e., blackhole, wormhole, and jamming) attacks targeting the IoT networking infrastructure. An implementation of RECOUP is realized in Contiki. Our results show the effectiveness of RECOUP over state-of-art protocols concerning packet delivery ratio to 25%, end-to-end delay down to 100 ms, low radio transmissions required for per packet delivery to 6 mJ, and most importantly, it improves the robustness and scalability of data communication process in the whole network.

With the advancement of IPv6 support in constrained wireless nodes, the new networking paradigm has emerged which is known as the Internet of Things. This paradigm is open to many threats because of its open and constrained nature. Routing attacks are one of the major threats to the Internet of Things which aim to disrupt normal routing operations of the network. In this paper, we analyze some well-known routing attacks (Sinkhole, Blackhole, Selective forwarding, Sybil, Clone ID, HELLO flooding and Local Repair) and show their effect on network throughput. Simulation of routing attacks is done using the state-of-the-art Internet of Things simulator, NetSim tool.
