Lightweight Architecture for Detection of Energy Depletion Attacks in LoRaWAN end devices
The Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) is a widely adopted Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the industrial, agricultural, and academic sectors, providing low-power devices with excellent cost-effectiveness. With its strong adoption, security concerns with LoRaWAN are growing every day. In this context, a specific type of attack known as Energy Depletion Attack (EDA) aims to drain the battery of end devices until they become unavailable, posing a potential threat to the entire network and increasing the maintenance costs of the infrastructure.
In this context, LADE proposes and implements a detection method based on statistical distance metrics to identify anomalies in energy consumption of sensors. In this repository we have published the prototipe of LADE developed for two environments:
- LADE for ContikiOS: A prototype implemented for ContikiOS version 3. The prototipe can be executed in Cooja simulator.
- LADE for x86/64 PC: A prototype to evaluate the system into personal computers.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/JSEN.2024.3504259 This work investigated the potential of the most common LoRaWAN attacks to deplete the energy of end devices. It presented a classification of these attacks and proposed a method to characterize their potential to deplete the energy of end devices. It then reviewed the most recent countermeasures against those attacks capable of depleting the energy of sensors.
