Abstract

Now-a-days the technology advancement has made significant improvement in different sectors of the society. IoT is always having an important role dealing with all these smart devices and their security. One such security issue is DOS attacks which is very frequent in IOT devices. This paper provides a solution to the experiment on a NodeMCU12e based smart switch to prevent and mitigate the attacks executed on wireless embedded devices. The major idea for developing this model is to build a suitable security mechanism for constrained devices which are part of various IOT and CPS applications. The results presented claims that when attacks are executed on the device, further communications would be halted with unidentified IP addresses using Request Capturing Security Mechanism (RCSM).
