Analysis of Network Security Issues in the Join Procedure of LoRaWAN

In the LoRaWAN network, the end devices need to make join-request by sending packets to the Network Server during the join procedure process. This procedure has some vulnerabilities that the attackers can exploit and attack network operations. In this paper, we will review, analyze, and compare some methods of exploiting vulnerabilities that are usually performed in the join procedure. In addition, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of existing solutions to reduce the above security issues.
