How to secure the IoT-based surveillance systems in an ELEGANT way

Abstract

With the emergence and development of the Internet of Things, every interconnected device, from tiny smart home appliances to cars, critical infrastructures and mass surveillance systems, has contributed to enhancing and improving people's lives. Yet, this comes at a cost - IoT's vulnerabilities, which make it susceptible to cyberattacks, put people's assets and wellbeing at serious risk. One of the ways of securing IoT consists in developing specialized Intrusion Detection Systems. This paper proposes such a solution. This artificial-intelligence-powered tool has been employed in a video surveillance-related use-case as part of the ELEGANT project and has already shown promise in effective detection of network attacks targeted at the IoT devices.
