Query: Enhancing Routing Security in IoT: Performance Evaluation of RPL Secure
  Mode under Attacks   As the Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) became the
standard for routing in the Internet of Things (IoT) networks, many researchers
had investigated the security aspects of this protocol. However, no work (to
the best of our knowledge) has investigated the use of the security mechanisms
included in RPL standard, mainly because there was no implementation for these
features in any IoT operating systems yet. A partial implementation of RPL
security mechanisms was presented recently for the Contiki operating system (by
Perazzo et al.), which provided us with an opportunity to examine RPL security
mechanisms. In this paper, we investigate the effects and challenges of using
RPL security mechanisms under common routing attacks. First, a comparison of
RPL performance, with and without its security mechanisms, under four routing
attacks (Blackhole, Selective-Forward, Neighbor, and Wormhole attacks) is
conducted using several metrics (e.g., average data packet delivery rate,
average data packet delay, average power consumption, etc.). This comparison is
performed using two commonly used Radio Duty-Cycle protocols. Secondly, and
based on the observations from this comparison, we propose two techniques that
could reduce the effects of such attacks, without having added security
mechanisms for RPL. An evaluation of these techniques shows improved
performance of RPL under the investigated attacks, except for the Wormhole
attack.
