Detection of Security Attacks on Edge Computing of IoT Devices through NS2 Simulation
Anit Kumar, Dhanpratap Singh · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2022
Abstract The limited resource and computation capacity of an IoT device always being a target vector for intruders to use to steal sensitive data from the device. Computational problems later solved by the engineers by introducing an edge server near to IoT device network boundary, but still it is not secure from the hands of intruders. IoT device vulnerabilities still can allow Edge server to give the control of the device to the intruders. Hence both the Edge server and the connected IoT device may fall under the control of an intruder for a misuse. In this paper we study how IoT devices in case of Edge computing falls under security threats. We have used NS2 simulator to identify a malicious node that behaves inconsistent in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio, End-to-End Delay, and Throughput.
