Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) has emerged as a prominent area of scrutiny. It is being deployed in multiple applications like smart homes, smart agriculture, intelligent surveillance systems, and even innovative industries. Security is a significant issue that needs to be addressed in these types of networks. This paper aims to describe symmetrical lightweight cryptographic algorithms (SLCAs) for lightweight IoT networks. The article focuses on discussing the principal difficulties of using cryptography in lightweight IoT devices, exploring SLCAs and their types based on structure formation throughout the literature survey, and comparing and evaluating different LCAs proposed in recent research. The main goal is to demonstrate how to solve the issues associated with conventional cryptography techniques and how lightweight cryptography algorithms aid limited IoT devices in achieving cybersecurity objectives.

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected physical objects that collect and share data over the Internet. However, routing attacks can disrupt data exchange, especially multi-node sinkhole attacks in low power and lossy IoT networks (LLNs). To support communication in LLN IoT, the IPv6-based routing protocol for LLNs (RPL) is used. Despite having several advantages, RPL also faces challenges like being vulnerable to attacks, having limited resources, compatibility, and scalability issues. Additionally, traditional security methods often do not work well for LLN-IoT devices because they lack the necessary computing power. To overcome these challenges, we have proposed a novel ledger-based framework called network and packet ledger to ascertain malicious devices using routing protocol for LLN (NAPLAM-RPL). This framework can effectively detect and mitigate multi-node sinkhole attacks in IoT networks. This paper also compares NAPLAM-RPL with similar protocols using the NetSim Simulator. The experimental analysis shows that NAPLAM-RPL improves network performance and outperforms existing methods like RF-trust, SoS-RPL, INTI, C-TRUST, and heartbeat algorithm in crucial areas, including packet delivery rate (PDR), throughput, End-to-End (E2E) delay, energy consumed, and detection accuracy.
