Abstract

The Internet of Things systems are prone to the attacks as they have ad-hoc and limited resource structure. IoT-based systems are utilized for managing a large volume of information and assist in services related to industrial and medical applications. Due to this, the IoT attains becomes a target for a multitude of attackers and adversaries namely occasional hackers, cybercriminals, hacktivists, government, etc. The major goal of potential attackers is to steal the sensitive information such as credit card numbers, location data, credential of financial account and information related to health, by hacking the Internet of Things devices.  The version number attack is one of malicious activity of IoT which affect network performance to great extend. The version number attack is triggered by the malicious nodes which can flood unlimited hello packets in the network. The hello flood attack raised situation of denial of service in the network. The trust based mechanism is proposed in this research work in which trust value is assigned to each node based on their activities. The node which is least trusted will be marked as malicious and get isolated from the network. The proposed scheme is implemented in NS2 and results are analyzed in terms of throughput, packetloss, energy consumption and delay.
