The introduction of the IPv6 protocol solved the problem of providingaddresses to network devices. With the emergence of the Internetof Things (IoT), there was also the need to develop a protocolthat would assist in connecting low-power devices. The 6LoWPANprotocols were created for this purpose. However, such protocolsinherited the vulnerabilities and threats related to Denial of Service(DoS) attacks from the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. In this paper, weprepare a network environment for low-power IoT devices usingCOOJA simulator and Contiki operating system to analyze theenergy consumption of devices. Besides, we propose an IntrusionDetection System (IDS) associated with the AES symmetric encryptionalgorithm for the detection of reflection DoS attacks. Thesymmetric encryption has proven to be an appropriate methoddue to low implementation overhead, not incurring in large powerconsumption, and keeping a high level of system security. The maincontributions of this paper are: (i) implementation of a reflectionattack algorithm for IoT devices; (ii) implementation of an intrusiondetection system using AES encryption; (iii) comparison ofthe power consumption in three distinct scenarios: normal messageexchange, the occurrence of a reflection attack, and runningIDS algorithm. Finally, the results presented show that the IDSwith symmetric cryptography meets the security requirements andrespects the energy limits of low-power sensors. more...
