Securing Low-Power Blockchain-Enabled IoT Devices Against Energy Depletion Attack

Blockchain-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) envisions a world with rapid development and implementations to change our everyday lives based on smart devices. These devices are attached the internet that can communicate each other without human interference. A well-known wireless network in blockchain-enabled IoT frameworks is Low Power Lossy Network (LLN) uses novel protocol known as Routing for low power lossy networks (RPL) provide effective energy-efficient routing. LLNs run RPL inherently prone multiple Denial Service (DoS) attacks due cost, shared medium resource-constrained nature Spam DODAG Information Solicitation (DIS) attack one drain energy source legitimate nodes ends up causing suffer from DoS. To address this problem, mitigation scheme named DIS Attack Mitigation (DISAM) proposed. The proposed effectively mitigates effects network’s performance. experimental results show DISAM detects quickly efficiently.
