“…Several researchers focused on optimizing the energy consumption of sensor nodes in wireless ecosystems. Other researchers [ 81 ] argued that there is a big challenge in balancing among energy consumption, reliability and security levels in routing due to resource limitation constraints withing the sensor nodes. To address this challenge, they introduced an energy-aware topology management and routing algorithm.…”

“…Datta et al introduce a library that replaces standard networking functions and obfuscates traffic patterns of an IoT device by using payload padding, fragmentation mechanisms, and randomly generated fake traffic (Datta et al, 2018). The way packets are routed in a network (n=7) can also be obfuscated (Bin-Yahya and Shen, 2022). For example, Bin-Yahya and Shen (Bin-Yahya and Shen, 2021) present a proactive route mutation scheme that alters the routes in wireless sensor networks to prevent reconnaissance and sniffer attacks.…”

Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as an umbrella term to describe connecting smart everyday objects (such as washing machines, toilets and sound systems), sensors and industrial machines to the internet. While IoT devices hold potential to greatly enhance quality of life through automating and optimizing mundane tasks, there are a great deal of security and privacy challenges. For this reason, practitioners and academics have explored various ways to enhance the multi-layered security of IoT devices. One of these methods is obfuscation, which has been successfully applied to make accessing devices more difficult for adversaries. In this study, we systematically processed the literature on applying obfuscation and diversification to improve IoT cybersecurity (81 articles) and clustered this research according the obfuscation target (code, data, interface, location, traffic). We then conducted a follow-up bibliometric review of the entire research profile of IoT cybersecurity (3,682 articles) to understand how these obfuscation and diversification approaches relate to the general cybersecurity landscape and solutions of IoT. We also derive a comprehensive list of benefits and shortcomings of enhancing IoT security through diversification, and present points of departure for future research.

A Mechanism for Load Balancing Routing and Virtualization Based on SDWSN for IoT Applications

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are important communication components of an internet of things (IoT). With the development of IoT and the increasing number of connected devices, network structure management and maintenance face the serious challenge of energy consumption. By balancing the network load, the energy consumption can be improved effectively. In the conventional WSN architecture, the two prerequisites of the load-balancing mechanism, flexibility and adaptability, are difficult to achieve. softwaredefined networking (SDN) is a novel network architecture that can promote flexibility and adaptability using a centralized controller. In this paper, a novel SDN architecture aimed at reducing load distribution and prolonging lifetime is proposed, which consists of different components such as topology, BS and controller discovery, link, and virtual routing. Accordingly, a new mechanism is proposed for load-balancing routing through SDN and virtualization. Through direct monitoring of the link load information and the network running status, the employed OpenFlow protocol can determine load-balancing routing for every flow in different IoT applications. The flows in different resource applications can be directed to a base station (BS) via various routes. This implementation reduces the exchange of network status and other relevant information. Virtual routing aims to weigh forward nodes and select the best node for each IoT application. The simulation results show the distribution of load over the network in the proposed algorithm and are characterized by the balanced network energy consumption, but also it prolongs network lifetime in comparison to the LEACH, improved LEACH, and LEACH-C algorithms.
