A GAN-based security strategy for WSN networks based on honeypot algorithm

Abstract

One of the essential elements of the cyber physical system is wireless sensor network (WSN), which is a multi-hop, self-organizing wireless network made up of numerousfixed or moving sensors. It jointly senses, gathers, analyses, and transfer the data ofdetected objects in the network's service area before sending this data to the network' sowner. Blackhole, Grayhole, Flooding, and Scheduling attacks are just a few of theusual WSN attacks that could quickly harm the system. Owing to constrained resourceof sensor nodes, a significant level of redundancy, network data's higher correlation,intrusion detection schemes for wireless sensor networks also have the drawbacks ofpoor identification rate, high computation overhead, and higher false alarm rate. Tooverwhelm the above problems, in this manuscript, Self-Attention-Based ProvisionalVariational Auto-Encoder Generative Adversarial Network (SAPVAGAN) optimized withHoney Badger Algorithms proposed for enhancing Cyber security in Wireless sensornetwork(ECS-WSN-SAPVAGANHBA). Based on the optimum features, the intruders in WSN data are categorizedinto normal and anomalous data (Black hole attack, Gray hole attack, Flooding attackand Scheduling attacks) with the help of SAPVAGAN.In general, SAPVAGANnotexpose any adaption of optimization modes for determining better parameters toassure accurate detection of WSN intrusion. Hence, Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) isproposed in this work to optimize the SAPVAGAN, which precisely detects the WSNintrusion.The proposed ECS-WSN-SAPVAGANHBA method is performed in Pythonutilizing the WSN-DS dataset. Here, the performance metrics like recall, precision, f-measure,specificity, accuracy, RoC and computation time is evaluated. The proposedmethod provides 23.56%, 12.64%, and 15.63% higher accuracy, 23.14%, 16.78% and20.04% lower computational time analyzed to the existing models,such as IntrusionDetection System in Wireless Sensor Network Using Light GBM method(ECS-WSNSLGBM),Intrusion Detection Scheme in Wireless Sensor Network utilizing RecurrentNeural Network(ECS-WSN-RNN) and Intrusion Detection Scheme for Wireless SensorNetworks utilizing Whale Optimized Gate Recurrent Unit (ECS-WSN-WOGRU)respectively.
