Packet Drop Detection in Agricultural‐Based Internet of Things Platform - Security Issues and Privacy Concerns in Industry 4.0 Applications - Wiley Online Library

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an evolving technology that has been used in a number of applications such as agriculture, education, smart cities and industry. It has few disadvantages, even though IoT technologies are used in various fields. One of IoT's big disadvantages is the security issue. IoT network is vulnerable to numerous attacks; one of IoT's most damaging attacks is a packet dropping attack. The adversaries compromise the IoT portion in packet dropping attacks to disrupt the network output by dropping packets. In this paper, we detect the packet dropping attack in the IoT platform focused on agriculture. We used thirty indoor plants, and each plant is equipped with a sensor for soil moisture. There are three sensors connected to one gateway, so that a total of ten gateways are used. For storage purposes the sensor data is moved to the ThingSpeak cloud platform. Any of the gateways acted as the node of malice. The result analysis shows that, in various circumstances, our algorithm successfully detects the malicious node with high precision and less false detection.
