Abstract: The magical buzzword Internet of Things (IoT) connects any objects which are diverse in nature. The restricted capacity, heterogeneity and large scale implementation of the IoT technology tend to have lot of security threats to the IoT networks. RPL is the routing protocol for the constraint devices like IoT nodes. ICMPv6 protocol plays a major role in constructing the tree-like topology called DODAG. It is vulnerable to several security attacks. Version Number Attack, DIS flooding attack and DAO attack are the ICMPv6 based attacks discussed in this paper. The network traffic is collected from the simulated environment in the normal and attacker settings. An AdaBoost ensemble model termed Ada-IDS is developed in this research to detect these three ICMPv6 based security attacks in RPL based Internet of Things. The proposed model detects the attacks with 99.6% accuracy and there is no false alarm rate. The Ada-IDS ensemble model is deployed in the Border Router of the IoT network to safeguard the IoT nodes and network.
