Internet of Things (IoT) network security is impacted significantly by routing errors present in IoT network.In IoT, routing errors caused by wormhole attacks affect badly on network performance.Out of several attacks, the wormhole attack is one of the most uncompromising attacks in IoT network.The wormhole attack can be launched using any protocol and also against the encrypted traffic hence it is very challenging to address it.In addition to altering routing algorithms by introducing incorrect routes, the wormhole attack also attacks location-dependent protocols, making routing algorithms useless.This paper presents the development of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for detecting and removing wormhole attack.Temperature sensors, Zigbee communication module, and Arduino modules are used in the implementation of the IDS for the detection of wormhole attacks with hardware.In order to detect attacks, a sudden increase in transmitted packets and changes in routing tables are taken into account.In the proposed system, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values of transmitted packets are used to detect the attack and attacker nodes.
