IoT-Based Intrusion Detection System Using New Hybrid Deep Learning Algorithm

The most significant threat that networks established in IoT may encounter is cyber attacks. The most commonly encountered attacks among these threats are DDoS attacks. After attacks, the communication traffic of the network can be disrupted, and the energy of sensor nodes can quickly deplete. Therefore, the detection of occurring attacks is of great importance. Considering numerous sensor nodes in the established network, analyzing the network traffic data through traditional methods can become impossible. Analyzing this network traffic in a big data environment is necessary. This study aims to analyze the obtained network traffic dataset in a big data environment and detect attacks in the network using a deep learning algorithm. This study is conducted using PySpark with Apache Spark in the Google Colaboratory (Colab) environment. Keras and Scikit-Learn libraries are utilized in the study. ‘CICIoT2023’ and ‘TONIoT’ datasets are used for training and testing the model. The features in the datasets are reduced using the correlation method, ensuring the inclusion of significant features in the tests. A hybrid deep learning algorithm is designed using one-dimensional CNN and LSTM. The developed method was compared with ten machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The model’s performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 parameters. Following the study, an accuracy rate of 99. 995% for binary classification and 99. 96% for multiclassification is achieved in the ‘CICIoT2023’ dataset. In the ‘TONIoT’ dataset, a binary classification success rate of 98. 75% is reached.
