Abstract

The Internet of Drones (IoD) offers synchronized access to organized airspace for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (known as drones). The availability of inexpensive sensors, processors, and wireless communication makes it possible in real time applications. As several applications comprise IoD in real time environment, significant interest has been received by research communications. Since IoD operates in wireless environment, it is needed to design effective intrusion detection system (IDS) to resolve security issues in the IoD environment. This article introduces a metaheuristics feature selection with optimal stacked autoencoder based intrusion detection (MFSOSAE-ID) in the IoD environment. The major intention of the MFSOSAE-ID technique is to identify the occurrence of intrusions in the IoD environment. To do so, the proposed MFSOSAE-ID technique firstly pre-processes the input data into a compatible format. In addition, the presented MFSOSAE-ID technique designs a moth flame optimization based feature selection (MFOFS) technique to elect appropriate features. Moreover, firefly algorithm (FFA) with stacked autoencoder (SAE) model is employed for the recognition and classification of intrusions in which the SAE parameters are optimally tuned with utilize of FFA. The performance validation of the MFSOSAE-ID model was tested utilizing benchmark dataset and the outcomes implied the promising performance of the MFSOSAE-ID model over other techniques with maximum accuracy of 99.72%.
