With the rapid advancement of technology, IoT has become inseparable from human lives. IoT is extensively used in transport, healthcare, manufacturing, among other sectors. However, this technology lacks sufficient security defense capabilities, thus becoming a highway for malicious actors. IoT networks use infrastructure-based (INF) and device-to-device (D2D) communications to propagate data. The INF communication utilizes technologies such as WLAN, LTE, GPRS, and GSM to relay information from source to destination. The D2D paradigm, on the other hand, is a close-proximity communication in which sensors exchange data in a multi-hop manner. Since malware can utilize both D2D and INF links to spread out, IoT networks are exceptionally vulnerable to attacks. Therefore, we propose Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered-Dead (SEIRD) model to examine the dynamics of IoT malware spread via INF and D2D communications.We analyze the impacts of mobility on infection propagation and illustrate that our model adequately captures IoT malware spread behaviors through mathematical analysis and simulations. We also compute the malware transmission threshold, which can be used as a guideline to mitigate and suppress an attack.
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.
