In the Internet of Things (IoT), physical objects are able to provide or require determined services. The purpose of this work is to identify malicious behavior of nodes and prevent possible On-Off attacks to a multiservice IoT. The proposed trust management model uses direct information generated from direct communication with the nodes to evaluate trust between nodes. This distributed approach allows nodes to be completely autonomous in making decisions about the behavior of other nodes. We perform network simulations using Contiki-OS to analyze the performance of the proposed trust model. Simulation results show effectiveness against On-Off attacks and also a good performance to recognize malicious nodes in the network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
