Cooperative IDS for Detecting Collaborative Attacks in RPL-AODV Protocol in Internet of Everything

Abstract

Internet of everything (IoET) is one of the key integrators in Industry 4.0, which contributes to large-scale deployment of low-power and lossy (LLN) networks to connecting people, processes, data, and things. The RPL is one of the unique standardized routing protocols that enable efficient use of smart devices energy, compute resources to address the properties and constraints of LLN networks. The authors investigate the RPL-AODV routing protocol's performance in combining the advantages of both RPL and AODV routing protocol, which works together in a low power resource-constrained network. The main challenging issue is collaborating the AODV and RPL routing protocol in the LLN network. This paper also models the collaborative attacks such as wormhole, blackhole attack for AODV, and rank and sinkhole attacks to exploit the vulnerability of RPL protocol. Finally, the cooperative IDS combining specification-based and signature-based IDS is proposed to detect the collaborative attacks against the RPL-AODV routing protocol that effectively monitors and provides security to the LLN networks.

Intrusion Detection System

“…IDS provides security solutions against malicious attacks or security breaches. It can be a software or hardware device that detects harmful activity to maintain system security (Babu et al, 2023;Liao et al, 2013). It identifies all forms of suspicious network traffic and malicious computer activity that a firewall might miss.…”

Priority RPL for IOT Based Smart Manufacturing Industries

“…RPL (Resource-Constrained Budget Low-power IPv6 Optimization) is an IPv6 protocol designed specifically for low-power and low-resource devices such as IoT devices (EST, 2023;Babu et al, 2023). It is used to optimize network performance and battery life by removing unnecessary overhead and requirements from the IPv6 protocol (Feijoo-Añazco et al, 2023;Chappala et al, 2023).…”
