Detection and Prevention of DoS and DDoS in IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices embedded with software, sensors and essential electronics that allow us to gather and exchange data between them. Through IoT, it is difficult to guarantee the privacy and protection of the users due to various artifacts linked to the Internet. Denial of Service (DoS) and Distribution Denial of Service (DDoS) are among the main security issues in IoT. DoS is a type of attack where attackers try to prevent access by legitimate users to the service. A DDoS is where multiple systems target a single, DoS attack system. This occurs when several systems overload a target system’s bandwidth or resources, normally at one or more servers. This is because of resource-constrained IoT network characteristics that have become a big victim. The early detection of DoS and DDoS attacks will prevent the resource-constrained devices from becoming a target and early death. This paper focuses on vulnerabilities in IoT such as Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS). Many privacy-conserving mechanisms have been discovered (such as automatic solution learning, and DDoS warning mechanisms). And, related work is under way. The goal of this paper is to present the detection and prevention of DDoS in IoT and privacy issues faced by the IoT environment and current mechanisms for its security.
