Reference Paper:  Evaluating and improving the scalability of RPL security in the Internet of Things-[2019]

Research Area:

IOT

Research Topics:

Contiki Cooja Simulator Projects in RPL Routing Protocol

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

Software Requirement:  Vmware workstation player, Instant Contiki-3.0

Aim and Objectives:  
The main objective of the project is to evaluate and improve the scalability of RPL security in IoT using the contiki-cooja simulator.

Contribution:  
1. The main contribution of this project is to evaluate the impact of security mechanisms on the scalability of wireless sensor networks.
2. This work proposes a standard-compliant optimization for defending against replay that reduces the impact on the overall performance.

Performance Evalution:  
This project exploits the Cooja simulator of the Contiki operating system to evaluate the performance of RPL security mechanisms. The experiments are carried out on the 100 × 100 m2 grid of 50 sensor nodes.
