“…This work will propose and implement a mechanism for secure RPL routing protocols. It will be based on and continue two pieces of research presented in [13,14] by addressing and improving their security issues, with the help of a proposed protocol called Secure Detection and Mitigation RPL Routing Protocol (SRPL-RP). The main contribution of this research is as follows:…”

“…The evaluation results indicate that ARM safeguards the RPL network with high accuracy rate. The researchers in [13] presented a Sink-Based Intrusion Detection System (SBIDS) to detect the rank attack in the RPL network. It works by the rule of comparing Node Current Rank (NCR) with Node Parent Rank (NPR), and checking the minimum rank between their siblings.…”

“…The RPL network topology composes of one root node, multiple normal nodes and some malicious nodes that are rank attack and version number attack. We are assuming that the root node cannot be exposed, and its ID is encrypted and cannot be violated [13]. The proposed protocol is safe from insider attacks using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) [34].…”

“…Phase Three: we extend the detection functionality of the rank attack described in research work [13] and mitigation functionality of version number attack as described in the other work [14]. If the DIO message of the sender node does not have a greater version number than the version number of the root node (assuming that the root node cannot be compromised), then it will be a case of rank attack detection and mitigation.…”

The rapid growth of the smart Internet of Things (IoT) and massive propagation of wireless technologies revealed the recent opportunities for development in various domains of real life such as smart cities and E-Health applications. A slight defense against different forms of attacks is offered for the current secure and lightweight Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) of IoT resource-constrained devices. Data packets are highly likely to be exposed while transmitting them during data packets routing. The RPL rank and version number attacks, which are two forms of RPL attacks, can have critical consequences for RPL networks. The studies conducted on these attacks have several security defects and performance shortcomings. The research proposes a Secure RPL Routing Protocol (SRPL-RP) for rank and version number attacks. It mainly detects, mitigates and isolates attacks in the RPL networks. The detection is based on a comparison of ranks strategy. The mitigation uses threshold and attacks status tables, and the isolation adds them to a blacklist table and alerts relevant nodes to skip them. SRPL-RP supports diverse types of network topologies and is comprehensively analyzed with multiple studies such as Standard RPL with Attacks, SBIDS and RPL+ Shield. The analysis results showed that the SRPL-RP achieves great improvements with Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of 98.48%, control message value of 991 packets/second, and average energy consumption of 1231.75 joules. It provides a better accuracy rate with 98.17% under the attacks.

Summary Due to the new technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected objects have become smart interactive devices. However, despite their imminent advantages, whether for the daily life of users or in professional contexts, and the various security solutions proposed in literature in particular, the security of IoT networks is still a paramount issue given to the amount of confidential data that circulates through these technologies. In other words, among the IoT protocols that suffer from security issues, routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL) is considered to be one of the most widely used protocols in the deployment of constrained IoT networks with limited resources (storage and energy constraints for example). On this basis, this article investigates in the first part a security flaw in the RPL protocol by carrying out an attack against the rank value of the RPL in an IoT environment. In the second part, a mitigation scheme to avoid it using a trust threshold is proposed. The malicious behavior of the attack and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme were assessed by detailed simulations using the Cooja simulator, in terms of successful detection rate, average network hops and global energy consumption. To conclude, a fair comparison between the different simulation results has been adopted using the Friedman statistical test, and a discussion has been presented with some future works concerning security against rank attack.

The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a way to reach every hidden corner of the universe and provides valuable information for exploring the universe. With the advancement of hardware and computing technologies, IoT systems are developed based on systematically designed architectures. This paper discussed the routing protocol for low power lossy network (RPL) protocol's security vulnerabilities and proposed solutions. This review provides the main aspects of an IoT stack model with application, perception, and network layers. Then, the details and security concerns of the RPL protocol are given with the comparison of different frameworks. Different kinds of attacks, such as Wormhole, Sinkhole, and Denial of service attacks, are provided with the solution of defense‐based, threshold‐based, and trust‐supported based cryptography. Also, reviewed IoT security literature and focused on IoT security challenges and their solutions using emerging technologies like Machine Learning (ML), Blockchain, and Cloud Storage. A comparison and analysis of emerging technologies in the context of IoT security are also discussed. Due to the vulnerability of IoT devices, the scale of deployment, the attacks and suggested solutions are increased with scope and scale. In addition, related RPL‐based protocols are compared regarding energy efficiency, flexibility, scalability, robustness, and security. In the end, research challenges are identified, and future research direction for IoT security is suggested.
