Today, the Internet of Things has been widely used and is becoming an increasingly vital part in various areas of human activity, which helps to effectively solve various real-life tasks and problems. The infrastructure of the Internet of Things includes a lot of heterogeneous devices with limited capacities, which makes it difficult to control them in order to detect cyberattacks. The increase in the number of attacks on the infrastructure of the Internet of Things indicates the relevance of developing new solutions for detecting attacks on the networks of the Internet of Things. One of the possible approaches to identify attacks is to analyze the physical parameters associated with IoT devices that describe the behavior of devices on the network, such as power consumption. Power analysis allows you to detect power-hungry attacks such as crypto mining and denial-of-service attacks. The paper proposes a new method for cyberattack detection in the infrastructure of the Internet of Things that is based on the analysis of energy consumption. In order to improve the accuracy of detecting cyberattacks, the approach also uses the analysis of the actions of the IoT software. The proposed approach makes it possible to detect attacks such as DoS/DDoS with high efficiency with a level of detection up to 99.95%.
