Abstract An intrusion detection system (IDS) becomes an important tool for ensuring security in the network. In recent times, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models can be applied for the identification of intrusions over the network effectively. To resolve the security issues, this paper presents a new Binary Butterfly Optimization algorithm based on Feature Selection with DRL technique, called BBOFS-DRL for intrusion detection. The proposed BBOFSDRL model mainly accomplishes the recognition of intrusions in the network. To attain this, the BBOFS-DRL model initially designs the BBOFS algorithm based on the traditional butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) to elect feature subsets.… More >

Abstract Contemporary attackers, mainly motivated by financial gain, consistently devise sophisticated penetration techniques to access important information or data. The growing use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the contemporary convergence environment to connect to corporate networks and cloud-based applications only worsens this situation, as it facilitates multiple new attack vectors to emerge effortlessly. As such, existing intrusion detection systems suffer from performance degradation mainly because of insufficient considerations and poorly modeled detection systems. To address this problem, we designed a blended threat detection approach, considering the possible impact and dimensionality of new attack surfaces due to the aforementioned convergence.… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emergent technologies with advanced developments in several applications like creating smart environments, enabling Industry 4.0, etc. As IoT devices operate via an inbuilt and limited power supply, the effective utilization of available energy plays a vital role in designing the IoT environment. At the same time, the communication of IoT devices in wireless mediums poses security as a challenging issue. Recently, intrusion detection systems (IDS) have paved the way to detect the presence of intrusions in the IoT environment. With this motivation, this article introduces a novel Quantum Cat Swarm Optimization… More >

Abstract In the Internet of Things (IoT) based system, the multi-level client’s requirements can be fulfilled by incorporating communication technologies with distributed homogeneous networks called ubiquitous computing systems (UCS). The UCS necessitates heterogeneity, management level, and data transmission for distributed users. Simultaneously, security remains a major issue in the IoT-driven UCS. Besides, energy-limited IoT devices need an effective clustering strategy for optimal energy utilization. The recent developments of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) concepts can be employed to effectively design intrusion detection systems (IDS) for accomplishing security in UCS. In this view, this study designs a novel Blockchain with Explainable Artificial Intelligence… 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 Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in the cloud Computing (CC) environment has received paramount interest over the last few years. Among the latest approaches, Deep Learning (DL)-based IDS methods allow the discovery of attacks with the highest performance. In the CC environment, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are widespread. The cloud services will be rendered unavailable to legitimate end-users as a consequence of the overwhelming network traffic, resulting in financial losses. Although various researchers have proposed many detection techniques, there are possible obstacles in terms of detection performance due to the use of insignificant traffic features. Therefore, in this paper,… More >

Abstract As the Internet of Things (IoT) endures to develop, a huge count of data has been created. An IoT platform is rather sensitive to security challenges as individual data can be leaked, or sensor data could be used to cause accidents. As typical intrusion detection system (IDS) studies can be frequently designed for working well on databases, it can be unknown if they intend to work well in altering network environments. Machine learning (ML) techniques are depicted to have a higher capacity at assisting mitigate an attack on IoT device and another edge system with reasonable accuracy.

Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) represents a paradigm shift in network traffic management. It distinguishes between the data and control planes. APIs are then used to communicate between these planes. The controller is central to the management of an SDN network and is subject to security concerns. This research shows how a deep learning algorithm can detect intrusions in SDN-based IoT networks. Overfitting, low accuracy, and efficient feature selection is all discussed. We propose a hybrid machine learning-based approach based on Random Forest and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). In this study, a new dataset based specifically on Software Defined Networks is used… More >
