Explanation

Node capture and false data injection are core categories of malicious attack against Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Node capture is an attack that compromises a physical IoT device and gains access to its data, configuration, or functionality. False data injection is an attack that alters or fabricates the data transmitted or received by an IoT device, which can affect the integrity, availability, or reliability of the IoT system. These attacks can have serious consequences for IoT applications that involve critical infrastructure, health care, or smart cities.
