Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) has shown significant growth in the past decades. Recently, IoT networks have been subject to cybersecurity threats on multiple fronts. A lack of improvement in IoT infrastructures' cybersecurity may result in challenges with a broad impact, such as DDoS attacks that target global DNS services. This paper reviews existing solutions to mitigate attacks on and from IoT networks. As a specific mitigation approach, we propose the use of a standardized whitelisting method, namely Manufacturer Usage Description (MUD), which provides enhanced explainability over machine learning-based approaches and is complementary to them. For evaluating the use of MUD in IoT networks, we report a case study, which we conducted through traffic analysis of two IoT devices by detecting recognizable and distinctive traffic patterns, which demonstrate the feasibility of MUD-based intrusion prevention. |
