Abstract: The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) is bringing new technologies, protocols and devices that demands long range connections. And for covering this needs, new technologies such as Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) have emerged. One of the most popular LPWAN technologies is Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) which aim to provide long range connections using low amount of energy. This technology is very useful for delivering several types of data such as temperature, humidity, water consumption and home security data, among others. However, since, LoRaWAN simplifies data packets and provides reduced security features to preserve energy, IoT devices using such technology have been severely compromised in the past. LoRaWAN has addressed some security issues found in the past but as every technology that is gaining adepts, it has been threated continuously through different types of attacks. This study aims to perform a systematic review process to examine the state of security of this protocol by analyzing discovered vulnerabilities and proposed countermeasures.
