Abstract A novel Federated learning classifier is proposed using the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory for the set-valued classification of industrial IoT Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack traffic. The proposed classifier, referred to as the evidence-based federated learning classifier, employs convolution and pooling layers to extract high-dimensional features of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) traffic from the local data of private industrial clients. The characteristics obtained from the various participants are transformed into mass functions and amalgamated utilizing Dempster’s rule within the DS layer, situated on the federated server. Lastly, the set value classification task of attack mode is executed in the… More >

Abstract With the increased advancements of smart industries, cybersecurity has become a vital growth factor in the success of industrial transformation. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 has revolutionized the concepts of manufacturing and production altogether. In industry 4.0, powerful Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a significant role in ensuring network security. Though various intrusion detection techniques have been developed so far, it is challenging to protect the intricate data of networks. This is because conventional Machine Learning (ML) approaches are inadequate and insufficient to address the demands of dynamic IIoT networks. Further, the existing Deep Learning (DL)… More >

Abstract In recent years, Digital Twin (DT) has gained significant interest from academia and industry due to the advanced in information technology, communication systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing (CC), and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The main concept of the DT is to provide a comprehensive tangible, and operational explanation of any element, asset, or system. However, it is an extremely dynamic taxonomy developing in complexity during the life cycle that produces a massive amount of engendered data and information. Likewise, with the development of AI, digital twins can be redefined and could be a crucial approach to aid the… More >

Abstract Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been used in various applications such as manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and healthcare that can enhance efficiency and productivity via an intelligent management console remotely. With the increased use of Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications, the risk of brutal cyber-attacks also increased. This leads researchers worldwide to work on developing effective Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) for IoT infrastructure against any malicious activities. Therefore, this paper provides effective IDS to detect and classify unpredicted and unpredictable severe attacks in contradiction to the IoT infrastructure. A comprehensive evaluation examined on a new available benchmark TON_IoT dataset is… More >

Abstract There are numerous internet-connected devices attached to the industrial process through recent communication technologies, which enable machine-to-machine communication and the sharing of sensitive data through a new technology called the industrial internet of things (IIoTs). Most of the suggested security mechanisms are vulnerable to several cybersecurity threats due to their reliance on cloud-based services, external trusted authorities, and centralized architectures; they have high computation and communication costs, low performance, and are exposed to a single authority of failure and bottleneck. Blockchain technology (BC) is widely adopted in the industrial sector for its valuable features in terms of decentralization, security, and… More >

Abstract Navigation is an essential skill for robots. It becomes a cumbersome task for the robot in a human-populated environment, and Industry 5.0 is an emerging trend that focuses on the interaction between humans and robots. Robot behavior in a social setting is the key to human acceptance while ensuring human comfort and safety. With the advancement in robotics technology, the true use cases of robots in the tourism and hospitality industry are expanding in number. There are very few experimental studies focusing on how people perceive the navigation behavior of a delivery robot. A robotic platform named “PI” has been… More >

Abstract Industrial Control System (ICS), which is based on Industrial IoT (IIoT), has an intelligent mobile environment that supports various mobility, but there is a limit to relying only on the physical security of the ICS environment. Due to various threat factors that can disrupt the workflow of the IIoT, machine learning-based anomaly detection technologies are being presented; it is also essential to study for increasing detection performance to minimize model errors for promoting stable ICS operation. In this paper, we established the requirements for improving the anomaly detection performance in the IIoT-based ICS environment by analyzing the related cases. After… More >
