Leveraging Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection in Social Internet Of Things (SIoT) Systems

Abstract

This research investigates the application of machine learning models for network intrusion detection in the context of Social Internet of Things (SIoT) systems. We evaluate Convolutional Neural Network with Generative Adversarial Network (CNN+GAN), Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), and Logistic Regression models using the CIC IoT Dataset 2023. CNN+GAN emerges as a promising approach, exhibiting superior performance in accurately identifying diverse intrusion types. Our study emphasizes the significance of advanced machine learning techniques in enhancing SIoT security by effectively detecting anomalous behaviours within socially interconnected environments. The findings provide practical insights for selecting suitable intrusion detection methods and highlight the need for ongoing research to address evolving intrusion scenarios and vulnerabilities in SIoT ecosystems.
