Reference Paper:  CTrust-RPL: A control layer-based trust mechanism for supporting secure routing in routing protocol for low powerand lossy networks-based Internet of Things applications-[2021]

Research Area:

IoT

Research Topic:

Contiki Cooja Simulator Projects in RPL Routing Protocol

Tools and Languages:  Contiki-Cooja / Contiki NG simulator, Front End: Java, Back End: C

Software Requirements:  Vmware workstation player, Instant Contiki-3.0

Aim and Objectives:  This project presents a novel hierarchical control layer-based trust mechanism for RPL using the cooja simulator.

Contributions:  
1. A novel control layer-based architecture is proposed to support secure routing in RPL-based IoT applications.
2. To implement an energy-efficient trust mechanism for detection.
3. To design a proof-of-concept of the proposed trust assessment mechanism.

Performance Evaluation:  The simulation is carried out for the control-layer trust RPL (CT-RPL) environment with 30 nodes scenario.
Performance Metrics:
 •  Packet Loss Ratio
 •  Attack Detection Ratio
 •  Energy Consumption
 •  Throughput
 •  PDR
 •  Delay
 •  Execution Time
