Abstract: This research has provided an overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) and performed an overall analysis of security protocols and available mechanisms to protect the security of IoT systems, showing that weaknesses still exist in the information security system, and are also the main reasons that limit the development, powerful application of IoT. We presented a solution to prevent denial of service attacks with an improved method of Over-hearing combined with Quark to improve DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security), limiting damage from active and passive attacks by building the solution using lightweight authentication encryption for weak resource IoT devices. Our research improved security protocols such as DTLS. We integrated Quark into DTLS with Over-hearing to prevent denial of service attacks, active attacks as well as passive attacks along with the man-in-the-middle attacks. Our results have proven to have an effective application on low-resource IoT devices. The research has achieved certain new results and proposed further research directions in the future. Using our proposed research solution, we can overcome it to a great extent.
