ABSTRACT: Today’s Internet of Things (IoT) application domains are widely distributed, which exposes them to several security risks and assaults, especially when data is being transferred between endpoints with constrained resources and the backbone network. Numerous researchers have put a lot of effort into addressing routing protocol security vulnerabilities, particularly regarding IoT RPL-based networks. Despite multiple studies on the security of IoT routing protocols, routing attacks remain a major focus of ongoing research in IoT contexts. This paper examines the different types of routing attacks, how they affect Internet of Things networks, and how to mitigate them. Then, it provides an overview of recently published work on routing threats, primarily focusing on countermeasures, highlighting noteworthy security contributions, and drawing conclusions. Consequently, it achieves the study’s main objectives by summarizing intriguing current research trends in IoT routing security, pointing out knowledge gaps in this field, and suggesting directions and recommendations for future research on IoT routing security.
