Hybrid Model-Based Intrusion Detection in Wireless Sensor Network on the Basis of Risk and Link Quality

Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) face more security threats due to the increased service of data transmission at high speed in almost all applications. The security of the network must be ensured by identifying abnormal traffic and current emerging threats. The most promising model for safeguarding the core network from outside attacks is Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). This work focuses on the introduction of clustering-based intrusion detection in WSN. Initially, clustering takes place, where the nodes are grouped under certain constraints via selecting the optimal Cluster Head (CH). The considered constraints are energy, delay, distance, risk, and link quality. This optimal selection takes place by a new hybrid optimization algorithm termed as Truncate Combined Bald Eagle Optimization (TCBEO) algorithm. The subsequent process is intrusion detection, where a hybrid detection model combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) & Bi-directional Gated Recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) is employed, which is trained with features like improved entropy and correlation taking into consideration of constraints like energy and distance, respectively. Eventually, the suggested work’s effectiveness is affirmed against existing techniques using various performance metrics.

Drastic advancement in computing technology and the dramatic increase in the usage of explainable machine learning algorithms provide a promising platform for developing robust intrusion detection algorithms. However, the development of these algorithms is constrained by their applicability over specific scenarios of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We introduced a hybrid framework by combining Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (P2CA) and Generalised Additive Model (GAM), which is performing well for all the scenarios of WSNs.

Our findings highlight that the presented framework can accurately predict the number of k−barriers for all three datasets. Furthermore, we conducted a comprehensive performance comparison between our proposed framework and benchmark algorithms, which revealed that our approach outperforms all of them. Additionally, we evaluated the framework’s versatility by testing its performance on datasets unrelated to intrusion detection, specifically ALE datasets. Notably, our approach accurately predicted the response variable in these datasets and exceeded the performance of its primary algorithm, further demonstrating its robustness and adaptability.The implications of this research are substantial. By developing a robust intrusion detection framework that performs well across diverse WSN scenarios, we address a critical need for reliable network security in various domains, including industrial IoT, smart cities, and environmental monitoring. Our findings not only enhance the understanding of intrusion detection in WSNs but also pave the way for developing more sophisticated and adaptable systems to safeguard sensitive data and critical infrastructure.

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) contain a significant quantity of sensor nodes that computes and communicates for data transmission. The data packet sensed and transmitted contains various cross layer feature set that includes many important information. Many essential aspects, which include storage capability, consumption of energy, and, computational power should be taken into account while dealing with the data packets. On the other hand, many past researchers have carried out their work in order to detect intrusion utilizing cross-layer packets but fail in detecting them at the same time. Cross-layer and feature selection techniques play a key role in building an efficient Intrusion Detection System (IDS). An advantage of using the cross-layer technique is to achieve a higher correlation among different layers of the protocol so that one layer can use the parametric information of the other layer by breaking the traditional layer barriers.

Secondly, a multi class intrusion detection model is proposed for the classification of different cross-layer based intrusion in the network. The proposed algorithm is developed for providing total security to cross-layer based networks by selecting prominent features and detecting intrusion at the same time. The simulation results are utilizing on real-time intrusive data from the network by analyzing the proposed model.

In order to illustrate the applicability of the model, the experiment selects three different data sets as the experimental data sets and conducts simulation performance analysis through simulation experiments. Experimental results show that the model had better classification performance.

Intrusion Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks with an Improved NSA Based on Space Division

Inspired by the biological immune system, many researchers apply artificial immune principles to intrusion detection in wireless sensor networks, such as negative selection algorithms, danger theory, and dendritic cell algorithms. When applying the negative selection algorithm to wireless sensor networks, the characteristics of wireless sensor networks, such as frequent changes in network topology and limited resources, are not considered too much, which makes the detection effect to need improvement. In this paper, a negative selection algorithm based on spatial partition is proposed and applied to hierarchical wireless sensor networks. The algorithm first analyzes the distribution of self-set in the real-valued space then divides the real-valued space, and several subspaces are obtained. Selves are filled into different subspaces. We implement the negative selection algorithm in the subspace. The randomly generated candidate detector only needs to be tolerated with selves in the subspace where the detector is located, not all the selves. This operation reduces the time cost of distance calculation. In the detection process of detectors, the antigen which is to be detected only needs to match the mature detectors in the subspace where the antigen is located, rather than all the detectors. This operation speeds up the antigen detection process. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the algorithm has better time efficiency and quality of detectors, saves sensor node resources and reduces the energy consumption, and is an effective algorithm for wireless sensor network intrusion detection.

After oversampling the minority samples, the accuracy of the random forest combined with the SMOTE has increased to 92.57%. This shows that the proposed algorithm provides an effective solution to solve the problem of class imbalance and improves the performance of intrusion detection.
