Abstract
The Routing Protocol for Low-power and lossy networks (RPL) is proposed by the Routing Over Low-power and Lossy Networks (ROLL) team to meet the routing requirements of the Internet of Things. Since its introduction into our daily lives, the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a considerable increase in the number of devices used for this purpose. Unfortunately, this increase has been accompanied by the emergence of a number of attacks affecting this equipment and network operation. The RPL protocol, for example, is subject to a blackhole attack aimed at isolating part of the network. Effective solutions are struggling to emerge due to the resource constraints of the connected objects used in these networks. In this paper, we present a lightweight and effective method for detecting blackhole attacks by the victim node itself, and propose countermeasures.
