Security in the Internet of Things: Recent Challenges and Solutions

Many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are susceptible to cyber-attacks. Attackers can exploit these flaws using the internet and remote access. An efficient Intelligent threat detection framework is proposed for IoT networks. This paper considers four key layout ideas while building a deep learning-based intelligent threat detection system at the edge of the IoT. Based on these concepts, the Hybrid Stacked Deep Learning (HSDL) model is presented. Raw IoT traffic data is pre-processed with spark. Deep Vectorized Convolution Neural Network (VCNN) and Stacked Long Short Term Memory Network build the classification model (SLSTM). VCNN is used for extracting meaningful features of network traffic data, and SLSTM is used for classification and prevents the DL model from overfitting. Three benchmark datasets (NBaIoT-balanced, UNSW-NB15 & UNSW_BOT_IoT- imbalanced) are used to test the proposed hybrid technique. The results are compared with state-of-the-art models.

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected objects produce an enormous amount of data traffic that feed big data analytics, which could be used in discovering unseen patterns and identifying anomalous traffic. In this paper, we identify five key design principles that should be considered when developing a deep learning-based intrusion detection system (IDS) for the IoT. Based on these principles, we design and implement Temporal Convolution Neural Network (TCNN), a deep learning framework for intrusion detection systems in IoT, which combines Convolution Neural Network (CNN) with causal convolution. TCNN is combined with Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique-Nominal Continuous (SMOTE-NC) to handle unbalanced dataset. It is also combined with efficient feature engineering techniques, which consist of feature space reduction and feature transformation. TCNN is evaluated on Bot-IoT dataset and compared with two common machine learning algorithms, i.e., Logistic Regression (LR) and Random Forest (RF), and two deep learning techniques, i.e., LSTM and CNN. Experimental results show that TCNN achieves a good trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency. It outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning IDSs that are tested on Bot-IoT dataset and records an accuracy of 99.9986% for multiclass traffic detection, and shows a very close performance to CNN with respect to the training time.
