Design of IoT Network using Deep Learning-based Model for Anomaly Detection

Abstract

Destructive cyber-attacks and cybercriminals are increasing with the increase in IoT (Internet of Things) devices globally. This ha/s led to the need for increase in security in IoT systems. Innovative and novel techniques are used by the intruders to accomplish malicious goals effectively through cyber-attacks. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is used for classification of attacks in IoT networks based on anomaly detection and machine learning techniques. Inefficiency is observed in the conventional machine learning models and intrusion detection techniques as the network technologies are unpredictable. Accurate identification of various anomalies is possible with deep learning models in several research segments. The input data along with its prominent characteristics may be categorized automatically for classification and anomaly detection using convolutional neural networks (CNN). Faster computations are enabled due to the performance efficiency of CNN. For IoT networks, an intrusion detection model based on anomaly detection is designed and developed in this paper. A multiclass classification framework is created initially using a CNN model. Further, 3D CNN is used for implementation of the proposed model. Various intrusion detection datasets from IoT networks are used for validation of the proposed CNN model. Pre-trained multiclass CNN model is used for implementation of multiclass and binary classification based on transfer learning. When compared to the conventional deep learning models, the proposed multiclass and binary classification framework has attained improved F1 score, recall, precision and accuracy.
