Using Deep Learning Networks to Identify Cyber Attacks on Intrusion Detection for In-Vehicle Networks

Abstract

With rapid advancements in in-vehicle network (IVN) technology, the demand for multiple advanced functions and networking in electric vehicles (EVs) has recently increased. To enable various intelligent functions, the electrical system of existing vehicles incorporates a controller area network (CAN) bus system that enables communication among electrical control units (ECUs). In practice, traditional network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) cannot easily identify threats to the CAN bus system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of NIDS—namely, on-the-move Intrusion Detection System (OMIDS)—to categorise these threats. Accordingly, this paper proposes an intrusion detection model for IVNs, based on the VGG16 classifier deep learning model, to learn attack behaviour characteristics and classify threats. The experimental dataset was provided by the Hacking and Countermeasure Research Lab (HCRL) to validate classification performance for denial of service (DoS), fuzzy attacks, spoofing gear, and RPM in vehicle communications. The proposed classifier’s performance was compared with that of the XBoost ensemble learning scheme to identify threats from in-vehicle networks. In particular, the test cases can detect anomalies in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to ensure detection accuracy and identify false alarm threats. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the dataset for HCRL Car-Hacking by the VGG16 and XBoost classifiers (n = 50) reached 97.8241% and 99.9995% for the 5-subcategory classification results on the testing data, respectively.

Multiple Mechanisms to Strengthen the Ability of YOLOv5s for Real-Time Identification of Vehicle Type

“…At present, many researchers use convolutional neural networks to complete specific visual tasks [33][34][35], and use attention mechanism [36], large-scale convolution and other strategies [37,38] to improve the performance of algorithms. In this paper, we mainly completed the task of detecting vehicle types in the road scene.…”

AI-Based Intrusion Detection Systems for In-Vehicle Networks: A Survey

“…None of these models has the capability to detect unknown attacks. The XGBoost classifier outperformed the VGG16 model for gear and RPM spoofing attacks in the work of Lin et al [94]. Aksu and Aydin [1] proposed a meta-heuristic algorithm called the modified genetic algorithm for the CAN feature selection.…”

A Novel Detection Approach of Unknown Cyber-Attacks for Intra-Vehicle Networks Using Recurrence Plots and Neural Networks

“…A dataset composed of CAN messages transmitted on a CAN bus of a real vehicle was used to evaluate the proposed system with results outperforming conventional ML methods. Lin et al [17] developed an IDS based on the Visual Geometry Group (VGG)-DNN. Taylor et al [18] proposed a LSTM neural network for detecting cyber-attacks in intra-vehicle network, including interleave, drop, discontinuity, unusual and reverse attacks.…”
