contents The rapid increase of diverse Internet of things (IoT) services and devices has raised numerous challenges in terms of connectivity, computation, and security, which networks must face in order to provide satisfactory support. This has led to networks evolving into heterogeneous IoT networking infrastructures characterized by multiple access technologies and mobile edge computing (MEC) capabilities. The heterogeneity of the networks, devices, and services introduces serious vulnerabilities to security attacks, especially distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which exploit massive IoT devices to exhaust both network and victim resources. As such, this study proposes MECshield, a localized DDoS prevention framework leveraging MEC power to deploy multiple smart filters at the edge of relevant attack-source/destination networks. The cooperation among the smart filters is supervised by a central controller. The central controller localizes each smart filter by feeding appropriate training parameters into its self-organizing map (SOM) component, based on the attacking behavior. The performance of the MECshield framework is verified using three typical IoT traffic scenarios. The numerical results reveal that MECshield outperforms existing solutions.
