Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, by a parent network device providing at least a portion of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) according to a prescribed routing protocol in a low power and lossy network, a destination advertisement object (DAO) message, the DAO message specifying a target Internet Protocol (IP) address claimed by an advertising network device in the DAG and the DAO message further specifying a secure token associated with the target IP address; and selectively issuing a cryptographic challenge to the DAO message to validate whether the advertising network device generated the secure token.
