Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is connected with numerous number of heterogeneous devices and these devices are communicating with one another. They are deployed in low power lossy networks. These networks encounter various attacks. Such as sinkhole attack, selective forwarding, wormhole attack, rank attack. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardizes protocol for IoT. One such is IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy network (RPL). RPL is typically designed for IoT in the context of constrained resources. In RPL, source nodes select the preferred parent node based on the rank metric to select the optimum routes. However, the malicious node misuses the rank metric to attract its neighbor nodes. This issue is defined as the rank attack. This paper proposes an algorithm to detect the rank attack in RPL based Internet of Things.
