SecTrust-RPL: A secure trust-aware RPL routing protocol for Internet of Things
Abstract
Abstract The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), the de facto routing protocol for Internet of Things (IoT) offers little protection against various forms of routing attacks. An attacker can exploit the routing system of RPL to launch destructive and devastating attacks against an IoT network. Popular among these IoT attacks are Rank and Sybil attacks. To secure IoT networks from routing attacks, a time-based trust-aware RPL routing protocol (SecTrust-RPL) is proposed and implemented. The Secure Trust (SecTrust) trust system is embedded into the RPL routing protocol to provide protection against Rank and Sybil attacks. SecTrust-RPL uses a trust-based mechanism to detect and isolate attacks while optimizing network performance. The performance of SecTrust-RPL is compared with the standard RPL protocol. SecTrust-RPL protocol demonstrates its superior performance over the standard RPL protocol in the detection and isolation of Rank and Sybil attacks. The effectiveness and resilience of SecTrust-RPL is demonstrated through extensive simulation studies and testbed experiments. Based on SecTrust-RPL, we show as a proof-of-concept the viability of using trust as an effective security system for mitigating attacks in IoT networks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
