Attacks against Rplin Iot: A Survey

Abstract

Internet of Things is one of the trending technologies in the cotemporary world which allows all the technologies to work together as a single system. The “things” connected in the IoT environment could be anything such as objects, physical/virtual things and human beings. The communication between these connected things should be secured. Otherwise, intruders can misuse the data collected from the IoT environment. So, there is a necessity of providing better routing mechanism for IoT to provide secure communication against various attacks in IoT. Several protocols areused for routing in IoT. IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) is one of the protocols in IoT based system. In this paper, various attacks against RPL protocol are listed out, analyzed and distinguished from each other.
