Abstract More businesses are deploying powerful Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to secure their data and physical assets. Improved cyber-attack detection and prevention in these systems requires machine learning (ML) approaches. This paper examines a cyber-attack prediction system combining feature selection (FS) and ML. Our technique’s foundation was based on Correlation Analysis (CA), Mutual Information (MI), and recursive feature reduction with cross-validation. To optimize the IDS performance, the security features must be carefully selected from multiple-dimensional datasets, and our hybrid FS technique must be extended to validate our methodology using the improved UNSW-NB 15 and TON_IoT datasets.

Abstract The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is one of the critical emerging applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). The huge increases in data generation and transmission across distributed networks make security one of the most important challenges facing IoMT networks. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks impact the availability of services of legitimate users. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) that are based on Centralized Learning (CL) suffer from high training time and communication overhead. IDS that are based on distributed learning, such as Federated Learning (FL) or Split Learning (SL), are recently used for intrusion… More >

Abstract The surge in connected devices and massive data aggregation has expanded the scale of the Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The proliferation of unknown attacks and related risks, such as zero-day attacks and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks triggered by botnets, have resulted in information leakage and property damage. Therefore, developing an efficient and realistic intrusion detection system (IDS) is critical for ensuring IoT network security. In recent years, traditional machine learning techniques have struggled to learn the complex associations between multidimensional features in network traffic, and the excellent performance of deep learning techniques,… More >

Abstract The security of the wireless sensor network-Internet of Things (WSN-IoT) network is more challenging due to its randomness and self-organized nature. Intrusion detection is one of the key methodologies utilized to ensure the security of the network. Conventional intrusion detection mechanisms have issues such as higher misclassification rates, increased model complexity, insignificant feature extraction, increased training time, increased run time complexity, computation overhead, failure to identify new attacks, increased energy consumption, and a variety of other factors that limit the performance of the intrusion system model. In this research a security framework for WSN-IoT, through… More >

Abstract Understanding the probabilistic nature of brittle materials due to inherent dispersions in their mechanical properties is important to assess their reliability and safety for sensitive engineering applications. This is all the more important when elements composed of brittle materials are exposed to dynamic environments, resulting in catastrophic fatigue failures. The authors propose the application of a non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion method for probabilistic studies on brittle materials undergoing fatigue fracture when geometrical parameters and material properties are random independent variables. Understanding the probabilistic nature of fatigue fracture in brittle materials is crucial for ensuring the… More >
