Abnormal Traffic Detection Method of Internet of Things Based on Deep Learning in Edge Computing Environment

Abstract

In this paper, a method based on deep learning to detect abnormal traffic of IoTs in edge computing environment is proposed. Firstly, the data are preprocessed by data cleaning, normalization, oversampling and undersampling, and data set segmentation to obtain a data set with balanced data distribution. Secondly, a method of calculating feature information based on data increment is adopted, which can accurately extract feature information from the dynamic data flow. Finally, the convolution neural network (CNN) is used to extract the local features of the data, and the bi-directional gated loop unit (BiGRU) is used to extract the long sequence correlation of the data. The two networks work together to extract data features. The self-focus mechanism is introduced to deal with redundant data. Experiments show that the accuracy, recall and [Formula: see text]1 value of the proposed method are 97.36%, 98.38% and 97.16%, respectively, in the normal class, which are higher than the comparison algorithm.
