Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face significant security challenges because of their resource constraints and exposure to malicious attacks. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) often suffer from low detection accuracy, high false alarm rates, and long processing times. To address these issues, this paper proposes an enhanced IDS framework based on the arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) for feature selection, combined with support vector machine (SVM) for classification. A new cost function is introduced to guide the feature selection process and improve model performance. The approach, named AS_IDS, is evaluated on the NSL-KDD dataset, achieving an accuracy of 96.65%, a detection rate of 98.69%, and a false alarm rate of 0.04% using only 15 features, with a significant reduction in execution time. Comparative results with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework in enhancing intrusion detection in WSNs.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Communication Systems provides a forum for R&D, open to researchers from all types of institutions and organisations worldwide, aimed at the increasingly important area of communication technology. The Journal''s emphasis is particularly on the issues impacting behaviour at the system, service and management levels. Published twelve times a year, it provides coverage of advances that have a significant potential to impact the immense technical and commercial opportunities in the communications sector. The International Journal of Communication Systems strives to select a balance of contributions that promotes technical innovation allied to practical relevance across the range of system types and issues.
The Journal addresses both public communication systems (Telecommunication, mobile, Internet, and Cable TV) and private systems (Intranets, enterprise networks, LANs, MANs, WANs). The following key areas and issues are regularly covered:
-Transmission/Switching/Distribution technologies (ATM, SDH, TCP/IP, routers, DSL, cable modems, VoD, VoIP, WDM, etc.)
-System control, network/service management
-Network and Internet protocols and standards
-Client-server, distributed and Web-based communication systems
-Broadband and multimedia systems and applications, with a focus on increased service variety and interactivity
-Trials of advanced systems and services; their implementation and evaluation
-Novel concepts and improvements in technique; their theoretical basis and performance analysis using measurement/testing, modelling and simulation
-Performance evaluation issues and methods.
