Internet of Things (IoT) is a platform where every day devices become smarter, every day processing becomes intelligent, and every day communication becomes informative. Numerous challenges prevent to secure IoT devices and their end-to-end communication in an IoT environment. In fact, the IoT security is still an open challenge. The purpose of this work is to examine a distributed strategy for mitigating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against the fog node in an edge computing context in which the nodes exchange messages through Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The proposed strategy is based on a dynamic message sending frequency of the lightweight nodes. It is also mitigated data tampering and eavesdropping by using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a platform where every day devices become smarter, every day processing becomes intelligent, and every day communication becomes informative. Numerous challenges prevent to secure IoT devices and their end-to-end communication in an IoT environment. In fact, the IoT security is still an open challenge. The purpose of this work is to examine a distributed strategy for mitigating Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against the fog node in an edge computing context in which the nodes exchange messages through Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The proposed strategy is based on a dynamic message sending frequency of the lightweight nodes. It is also mitigated data tampering and eavesdropping by using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).
