Abstract
The limitations of storage and computation capabilities in IoT devices raise challenges to design scalable protocols for different network sizes and maintain the minimum network delay. The nature of IoT makes existing routing protocols not suitable for IoT. As a result, IETF introduced IPv6 routing protocol over low-power and lossy networks. Unfortunately, there is no official implementation of security mechanisms that are defined as standard. This gap led to the appearance of many routing attacks utilizing the absence of RPL security mechanisms. In this article, we propose novel taxonomy to categorize RPL attacks based on the attack's mechanism. This taxonomy considers all RPL attacks whether inherited from WSN or resulted from exploiting RPL features. The taxonomy is evaluated to ensure usefulness and applicability.
