Optimized memory augmented graph neural network-based DoS attacks detection in wireless sensor network

Abstract

ABSTRACT Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are mainly used for data monitoring and collection purposes. Usually, they are made up of numerous sensor nodes that are utilized to gather data remotely. Each sensor node is small and inexpensive. Due to the increasing intelligence, frequency, and complexity of these malicious attacks, traditional attack detection is less effective. In this manuscript, Optimized Memory Augmented Graph Neural Network-based DoS Attacks Detection in Wireless Sensor Network (DoS-AD-MAGNN-WSN) is proposed. Here, the input data is amassed from WSN-DS dataset. The input data is pre-processing by secure adaptive event-triggered filter for handling negation and stemming. Then, the output is fed to nested patch-based feature extraction to extract the optimal features. The extracted features are given to MAGNN for the effective classification of blackhole, flooding, grayhole, scheduling, and normal. The weight parameter of MAGNN is optimized by gradient-based optimizers for better accuracy. The proposed method is activated in Python, and it attains 31.20%, 23.30%, and 26.43% higher accuracy analyzed with existing techniques, such as CNN-LSTM-based method for Denial of Service attacks detection in WSNs (CNN-DoS-AD-WSN), Trust-based DoS attack detection in WSNs for reliable data transmission (TB-DoS-AD-WSN-RDT), and FBDR-Fuzzy-based DoS attack detection with recovery mechanism for WSNs (FBDR-DoS-AD-RM-WSN), respectively.
