Abstract:
To make the Internet of Things a more receptive environment and well regarded by everyone, it is important to invest in security. The devices involved in the Internet of things environment have limited computational resources and expose the network to many threats. With the use of an architecture to be able to detect, classify and mitigate the effects of these threats, it is possible to create a safer environment. This paper proposes a security architecture for the Internet of Things, considering the limited computational resources of the environment in question. This Architecture uses the Dendritic Cells Algorithm (DCA) combined with a neural network to detect attacks and use the White List to ignore the malicious nodes in the network.
