A Security Threat Analysis for the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks
RFC 7416, “A Security Threat Analysis for the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks”, is an Informational document published in January 2015 by T. Tsao, R. Alexander, M. Dohler, V. Daza, A. Lozano, M. Richardson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a security threat analysis for the Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPLs). The development builds upon previous work on routing security and adapts the assessments to the issues and constraints specific to low-power and lossy networks. A systematic approach is used in defining and evaluating the security threats. Applicable countermeasures are application specific and are addressed in relevant applicability statements.
