Although few attempts have been made, the limits of the state-of-the-art training of a deep learning model within a microcontroller can be pushed further. Generally deep learning models are trained with gradient optimizers which predict with high accuracy but require a very high amount of resources.

In future systems we can imagine that the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will also be used for conveying patients for diagnosis and treatment in an integrated manner. Thus the medical field poses very significant and specific challenges since even for a single patient, several providers may carry out tests or offer healthcare services, and may have distinct interconnected sub-contractors for services such as ambulances and connected cars, connected devices or temporary staff providers, that have distinct confidentiality requirements on top of possible commercial competition. On the other hand, these distinct entities can be subject to similar or coordinated attacks, and could benefit from each others’ cybersecurity experience to better detect and mitigate cyberattacks. Thus the present work proposes a novel Distributed Self-Supervised Federated Intrusion Detection Algorithm (DISFIDA), with Online Self-Supervised Federated Learning, that uses Dense Random Neural Networks (DRNN). In DISFIDA learning data is private, and neuronal weights are shared among Federated partners. Each partner in DISFIDA combines its synaptic weights with those it receives other partners, with a preference for those weights that have closer numerical values to its own weights which it has learned on its own. DISFIDA is tested with three open-access datasets against five benchmark methods, for two relevant IoT healthcare applications: networks of devices (e.g., body sensors), and Connected Smart Vehicles (e.g., ambulances that transport patients). These tests show that the DISFIDA approach offers 100% True Positive Rate for attacks (one percentage point better than comparable state of the art methods which attain 99%) so that it does better at detecting attacks, with 99% True Negative Rate similar to state-of-the-art Federated Learning, for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542660524002816/pdfft?md5=3f8cac47e530cac8c010a7b776652d64&pid=1-s2.0-S2542660524002816-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142147571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the extreme sensitivity of medical data, any vulnerability may result in data breaches and misuse, impacting patient safety and privacy. Therefore, safeguarding MSN security is critical. As medical sensor devices rely on smart healthcare software systems for data management and communication, precisely detecting system code vulnerabilities is essential to ensuring network security. Effective software vulnerability detection targets two key objectives: (i) achieving high accuracy and (ii) directly identifying vulnerable code lines for developers to fix. To address these challenges, we introduce Vulcoder, a novel vulnerability-oriented, encoder-driven model based on the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) architecture. We propose a one-to-one mapping function to capture code semantics through abstract syntax trees (AST). Combined with multi-head attention, Vulcoder achieves precise function- and line-level detection of software vulnerabilities in MSN. This accelerates the vulnerability remediation process, thereby strengthening network security. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate that Vulcoder outperforms previous models in identifying vulnerabilities within MSN. Specifically, it achieves a 1%–419% improvement in function-level prediction F1 scores and a 12.5%–380% increase in line-level localization precision. Therefore, Vulcoder helps enhance security defenses and safeguard patient privacy in MSN, facilitating the development of smart healthcare.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542660524003032/pdfft?md5=ec517a1daef40dd544058b39166a1eae&pid=1-s2.0-S2542660524003032-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the massive amount of data collected and transmitted by the sensor nodes, which are mostly redundant, will quickly consume their limited battery power, which is sometimes difficult to replace or recharge. Although the huge efforts made by researchers to solve such problem, most of the proposed techniques suffer from their accuracy and their complexity, which is not suitable for limited-resources sensors. Therefore, designing new data reduction techniques to reduce the raw data collected in such networks is becoming essential to increase their lifetime. In this paper, we propose a CLuster-based node correlation for sAmpling Rate adaptation and fAult tolerance, abbreviated CLARA, mechanism dedicated to periodic sensor network applications. Mainly, CLARA works on two stages: node correlation and fault tolerance. The first stage introduces a data clustering method that aims to search the correlation among neighboring nodes. Then, it accordingly adapts their sensing frequencies in a way to reduce the amount of data collected in such networks while preserving the information integrity at the sink. In the second stage, a fault tolerance model is proposed that allows the sink to regenerate the raw sensor data based on two methods: moving average (MA) and exponential smoothing (ES). We demonstrated the efficiency of our technique through both simulations and experiments. The best obtained results show that the first stage can reduce the sensor sampling rate, and accordingly the sensor energy, up to 64% while the second stage can accurately regenerate the raw data with an error loss less than 0.15.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142147680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper unfolds a novel framework for IoT security using Steganography in Low-light Environment (IoTSLE) by image enhancement and data concealment. In proposed IoTSLE, initially, the low-light images, captured by the IoT devices in a low-light environment, are enhanced by band learning with recursion and band recomposition. After that, the secret information is concealed within the enhanced image.

However, this rapid integration raises complex security issues, including an increased risk of unlawful access and data breaches. Strong cybersecurity measures are required to identify and prevent these attacks, preserving the security and confidentiality of users. Finding significant features for recognizing malicious attacks and enhancing the accuracy of network intrusion detection in general, and particularly in the virtual environment, are some of the significant research needs. This paper introduces an intelligent intrusion detection system (IIDS) based on rough set-based electric eel foraging optimization (RSEEFO) in conjunction with the AdaBoost-based classification algorithm. The main objective of this system is to detect and recognize different types of attacks on the interaction and connectivity between the IoT and the metaverse. The proposed IIDS-RSEEFO consists of three phases, which are data pre-processing, multi-IoT attack classification, and evaluation. The main problems associated with the adopted dataset are handled in data pre-processing. Then, in the second phase, a one-versus-all approach is employed along with RSEEFO and AdaBoost to handle the multi-class classification problem. Finally, several evaluation metrics are employed to assess the reliability and robustness of the proposed IIDS-RSEEFO. The proposed IIDS was tested on CIC-IoT-2023 and validated on UNSWNB-15. It achieved high accuracy across all attack types of CIC-IoT-2023, with accuracies of 99.7 %, 100 %, 100 %, 99.8 %, 100 %, 100 %, 99.8 %, and 100 % for benign traffic, DDoS, brute force, spoofing, DoS, Mirai, recon, and web-Based respectively, accompanied by robust sensitivity, F1-Score, Specificity, G-Mean, and crossover-error rate metrics demonstrating its effectiveness in accurately predicting each attack type.
