Monitoring and Security for the Internet of Things

Abstract. The concept of Internet of Things involves the deployment of Low power and Lossy Networks (LLN) allowing communications amongst pervasive devices such as embedded sensors. A dedicated routing protocol called RPL has been designed to consider the constraints of these LLN networks. However, the RPL protocol remains exposed to many security attacks that can be very costly in time and energy. In this paper, we propose to exploit risk management methods and techniques to evaluate the potentiality of attacks and to dynamically reduce the exposure of the RPL protocol while minimizing resources consumption.
