Abstract Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an emerging field which connects digital equipment as well as services to physical systems. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) can be designed to protect the system from intrusions or attacks. In this view, this paper presents a novel hybrid deep learning with metaheuristics enabled intrusion detection (HDL-MEID) technique for clustered IIoT environments. The HDL-MEID model mainly intends to organize the IIoT devices into clusters and enabled secure communication. Primarily, the HDL-MEID technique designs a new chaotic mayfly optimization (CMFO) based clustering approach for the effective choice of the Cluster Heads (CH) and organize clusters.

Abstract Network management and multimedia data mining techniques have a great interest in analyzing and improving the network traffic process. In recent times, the most complex task in Software Defined Network (SDN) is security, which is based on a centralized, programmable controller. Therefore, monitoring network traffic is significant for identifying and revealing intrusion abnormalities in the SDN environment. Consequently, this paper provides an extensive analysis and investigation of the NSL-KDD dataset using five different clustering algorithms: K-means, Farthest First, Canopy, Density-based algorithm, and Exception-maximization (EM), using the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) software to compare extensively between these five algorithms.… More >

Abstract Due to polymorphic nature of malware attack, a signature-based analysis is no longer sufficient to solve polymorphic and stealth nature of malware attacks. On the other hand, state-of-the-art methods like deep learning require labelled dataset as a target to train a supervised model. This is unlikely to be the case in production network as the dataset is unstructured and has no label. Hence an unsupervised learning is recommended. Behavioral study is one of the techniques to elicit traffic pattern. However, studies have shown that existing behavioral intrusion detection model had a few issues which had been parameterized into its common… More >

Abstract Recent advancements in hardware and networking technologies have resulted in a large growth in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to the Internet, which is likely to continue growing in the coming years. Traditional security solutions are insufficiently suited to the IoT context due to the restrictions and diversity of the resources available to objects. Security techniques such as intrusion detection and authentication are considered to be effective. Additionally, the decentralised and distributed nature of Blockchain technology makes it an excellent solution for overcoming the security issue. This paper proposes a chaotic bird swarm algorithm (CBSA)-based clustering… More >

Abstract In the digital area, Internet of Things (IoT) and connected objects generate a huge quantity of data traffic which feeds big data analytic models to discover hidden patterns and detect abnormal traffic. Though IoT networks are popular and widely employed in real world applications, security in IoT networks remains a challenging problem. Conventional intrusion detection systems (IDS) cannot be employed in IoT networks owing to the limitations in resources and complexity. Therefore, this paper concentrates on the design of intelligent metaheuristic optimization based feature selection with deep learning (IMFSDL) based classification model, called IMFSDL-IDS for IoT networks. The proposed IMFSDL-IDS… More >
