A Dynamic Trust-Related Attack Detection Model for IoT Devices and Services Based on the Deep Long Short-Term Memory Technique

Abstract

The integration of the cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) technology has resulted in a significant rise in futuristic technology that ensures the long-term development of IoT applications, such as intelligent transportation, smart cities, smart healthcare, and other applications. The explosive growth of these technologies has contributed to a significant rise in threats with catastrophic and severe consequences. These consequences affect IoT adoption for both users and industry owners. Trust-based attacks are the primary selected weapon for malicious purposes in the IoT context, either through leveraging established vulnerabilities to act as trusted devices or by utilizing specific features of emerging technologies (i.e., heterogeneity, dynamic nature, and a large number of linked objects). Consequently, developing more efficient trust management techniques for IoT services has become urgent in this community. Trust management is regarded as a viable solution for IoT trust problems. Such a solution has been used in the last few years to improve security, aid decision-making processes, detect suspicious behavior, isolate suspicious objects, and redirect functionality to trusted zones. However, these solutions remain ineffective when dealing with large amounts of data and constantly changing behaviors. As a result, this paper proposes a dynamic trust-related attack detection model for IoT devices and services based on the deep long short-term memory (LSTM) technique. The proposed model aims to identify the untrusted entities in IoT services and isolate untrusted devices. The effectiveness of the proposed model is evaluated using different data samples with different sizes. The experimental results showed that the proposed model obtained a 99.87% and 99.76% accuracy and F-measure, respectively, in the normal situation, without considering trust-related attacks. Furthermore, the model effectively detected trust-related attacks, achieving a 99.28% and 99.28% accuracy and F-measure, respectively.

Exploring Long Short Term Memory Algorithms for Low Energy Data Aggregation

“…A short-term forecasting model for predicting inside temperature in residential buildings using a sequence generative adversarial network can utilize historical data such as outdoor and past internal temperatures to generate an artificial dataset of previous temperatures [11]. Then, an autoregressive deep neural network can be trained to provide a "synthetic" forecast primarily based on this information, allowing it to learn the patterns that may potentially arise in temperature behaviors in a specific location [12].…”

Wind Speed Prediction Based on Error Compensation

“…Since these methods assume the relationship between historical wind speeds and future ones are linear and ignore the nonlinear characteristics, the prediction accuracy is not optimal [ 16 ]. With the rise of artificial intelligence [ 17 ], more and more nonlinear methods have been studied, such as Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) [ 18 ], Convolution Neural Network (CNN) [ 19 ], Support Vector Machine (SVM) [ 20 ], Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) [ 21 ], Long-short Term Memory Network (LSTM) [ 22 ], and the hybrid model combining multiple methods [ 23 ]. These nonlinear methods can accept more input features and can achieve more accurate predictions by selecting appropriate activation functions and hyperparameters.…”

“…The primary objective of IoT networks is to streamline workflows and enhance overall convenience by facilitating real-time data sharing, analysis, and decision making. As a result, the demand for IoT networks is anticipated to undergo a remarkable surge in the upcoming years, with forecasts projecting an astonishing 55.7 billion connected devices by the year 2025 [ 1 ]. This exponential growth underscores the importance of ensuring the stability, security, and adaptability of IoT technology to effectively cater to the evolving demands of modern industries.…”
