A method based on encryption and node rating for securing the RPL protocol communications in the IoT ecosystem
share
Internet of Things (IoT) provides the possibility for milliards of devices throughout the world to communicate with each other, and data is collected autonomously. The big data generated by the devices should be managed securely. Due to security challenges, like malicious nodes, many approaches cannot respond to these concerns. In this paper, a robust hybrid method, including encryption, is used as an efficient approach for resolving the RPL protocol concerns so that the devices are connected securely. Therefore, the proposed DSH-RPL method for securing the RPL protocol comprises the four following phases: The first phase creates a reliable RPL. The second phase detects the sinkhole attack. The third phase quarantines the detected malicious node, and the fourth phase transmits data through encryption. The simulation results show that the DSH-RPL reduces the false-positive rate more than 18.2 reduces the false-negative rate more than 16.1 the packet delivery rate more than 19.68 detection rate more than 26
