Proposal for LDoS attack using indirect transmission in Zigbee and a countermeasure against it

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Low-Rate DoS (LDoS) attack degrades the quality of service with less traffic than typical DoS attacks. LDoS attack has a so small time-averaged flow that it is easy to elude the conventional counter-DoS detection mechanisms. Thus, this attack is a serious problem so far. With the recent spread of IoT devices, Zigbee, one of the IoT communication standards, is also attracting attention. Zigbee is a short-range wireless communication protocol and needs low power and low bandwidth at the sacrifice of its short transfer range and slow speed. Due to this nature, it is widely used in small inexpensive sensors and IoTs that run on batteries, but it is difficult to detect attacks with such resource-poor devices. Besides, Zigbee uses indirect communication to achieve low power consumption, which becomes a vulnerability to LDoS attacks. In this study, we propose LDoS attack using indirect communication in Zigbee and a countermeasure against it. We also conducted simulation experiments to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the attack and the effectiveness of the countermeasure.
