Abstract

The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), driven by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), has raised significant security concerns, particularly regarding sinkhole attacks. These attacks compromise data integrity by redirecting traffic through malicious nodes. This paper reviews existing detection methods for sinkhole attacks in IoT and WSNs, analyzing their effectiveness, limitations, and current research gaps. Key challenges include the lack of benchmark datasets, limited real-world validation, and issues with scalability and protocol dependence. The study highlights future research directions to enhance the security and resilience of IoT systems.

物联网天坑攻击检测的文献综述

在无线传感器网络（wsn）和低功耗损耗网络（lln）的推动下，物联网（IoT）的发展引发了重大的安全问题，尤其是天坑攻击。这些攻击通过将流量重定向到恶意节点来破坏数据完整性。本文综述了现有的物联网和无线传感器网络中天坑攻击的检测方法，分析了它们的有效性、局限性和目前的研究空白。主要挑战包括缺乏基准数据集、有限的实际验证以及可伸缩性和协议依赖性问题。该研究强调了未来的研究方向，以增强物联网系统的安全性和弹性。
