Abstract

In this article we introduce authentication preambles as a mechanism to mitigate battery exhaustion attacks in LPWAN networks. We focus on the LoRaWAN technology as an exponent of industrial LPWANs. We analyze the impact of DoS attacks in Class B deployments and implement authentication preambles to limit attacker options when forcing nodes to overhear class B beacons. The article presents realistic results demonstrating significant energy savings (91% energy saving when a network is attacked) versus a 4% energy overhead of the mechanism in normally operating networks.
