An Approach to Secure Internet of Things Against DDoS

Internet of Things is an interconnected network where physical things become digital objects with the capability of communication via internet. World is moving speedily toward the era of IoT with increasing use of digital things, from smart home to smart city, smart street to smart industry, where all human-required information is either under surveillance or monitored through it via internet medium. By such a large-scale application of IoT, it becomes essential and important to secure the network, prevent it form unwanted attack. IoT is still evolving, but there are certain issues related to security like confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Here, we try to solve Distributed Denial of Service issue against IoT network. DDoS is the attack penetrated from compromised systems that result in poor network performance, bandwidth consumptions, and resource consumptions; as IoT have small processing unit, we must provide solution to restrict such attacks. We introduce solution based on an agent to protect DDoS attack on IoT.
