Communicating objects are now omnipresent on the Internet forming what is called the Internet of Things. Unfortunately, the popularity of the Internet of Things makes it a favorite target for cyber criminals. With more than thirty years of experience in Internet protocols, the scientific community has proposed many solutions for detecting attacks or abnormal behavior. Due to their characteristics, the objects have required the specification and deployment of new communication protocols. Many flaws are still present and require a precise analysis of the traffic to identify and correct them. The purpose of this thesis is to deal with anomaly detection in the Internet of Things. Initially, we need to characterize the traffic coming from these networks to extract global rules which make it possible to identify abnormal behavior. The application of these rules will allow us to correct flaws in the protocols involved, or to deploy countermeasures to make the Internet of Things more secure. We also want to offer “honeypot” solutions to gather real attack traces potentially carried out by AI.
