Securing the network in e-retailing and manufacturing: a balanced decision analysis under competition and cooperation modes

With the continuous emergence of network problems, the e-commerce supply chain faces the risk of network attacks. This paper studies a dual-channel supply chain, where manufacturers can earn revenue through online channels (i.e. manufacturers sell products through e-retailers) and offline channels (i.e. manufacturers sell products directly to consumers). In the online channel, we analysed two modes. The first is the competitive model, where e-tailers buy products from manufacturers and resell them to consumers. The second is a cooperative model, in which manufacturers pay a commission to sell products to consumers on e-retailer platforms. We divide the network risk prevention methods into three models: the M model (wherein the manufacturer conducts risk defense blocking), the E model (wherein e-retailers conduct risk defense blocking), and the ME model (wherein e-retailers and manufacturers conduct risk defense blocking simultaneously). These cases are discussed in this paper. The results show that manufacturers and e-retailers will gain the highest profit in the ME model, regardless of competition mode or cooperation mode. As a result, manufacturers and retailers can simultaneously mount cyber defenses seeking to maximize profits. In addition, government subsidies have a positive effect on encouraging supply chain members to take defensive measures.

A vulnerability detection method for IoT protocol based on parallel fuzzy algorithm

The Internet of Things communication protocol is prone to security vulnerabilities when facing increasing types and scales of network attacks, which can affect the communication security of the Internet of Things. It is crucial to effectively detect these vulnerabilities in order to improve the security of IoT communication protocols and promptly fix them. Therefore, this study proposes a distributed IoT communication protocol vulnerability detection method based on an improved parallelized fuzzy testing algorithm. Firstly, based on design principles and by comparing different communication protocols, a communication architecture for the distribution network's Internet of Things was constructed, and the communication protocols were formalized and decomposed. Next, preprocess the vulnerability detection samples, and then use genetic algorithm to improve the parallelized fuzzy testing algorithm to perform vulnerability detection. Through this improved algorithm, the missed detection rate and false detection rate can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the security of IoT communication protocols. The experimental results show that the highest missed detection rate of this method is only 4.0 %, and the false detection rate is low, with high detection efficiency. This indicates that the method has good performance and reliability in detecting vulnerabilities in IoT communication protocols.

With the popularity of online games and the increasing frequency of game battles, game platforms are facing more and more network security threats and attacks. In order to effectively deal with these threats, this study proposes a network security defense strategy of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for game warfare. Through the modeling of game battle environment and the application of DRL algorithm, this strategy can monitor and identify all kinds of network attacks in game battle in real time, and take corresponding measures to defend and deal with them. In this study, the corresponding experimental environment is designed, and the network security defense strategy based on DRL is evaluated and analyzed. The experimental results show that the strategy has obvious advantages in network attack detection rate and false alarm rate, and has good stability and reliability. In addition, the strategy also shows strong generalization ability and adaptability, and can effectively deal with different types of network attack threats. The results of this study are of great significance for strengthening the network security defense of the game platform and improving the user experience and the stability of the game environment.

Cross-layer detection and defence mechanism against DDoS and DRDoS attacks in software-defined networks using P4 switches

This paper presents a comprehensive system for detecting and defending against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and distributed reflective denial-of-service (DRDoS) flood attacks in software-defined networking (SDN) environments using Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors (P4). The proposed system introduces a hybrid intrusion statistical threshold algorithm (HISTA) that analyzes intrusion data statistics to identify potential malicious attacks. Upon detection, the system utilises P4 programmability to implement a custom defence mechanism on the P4 switch. A novel Uruk protocol header collaborates with HISTA for enhanced cross-layer attack detection and categorisation. The HISTA-Uruk mechanism selectively discards malicious packets while ensuring uninterrupted communication for legitimate packets, effectively preventing DDoS/DRDoS attacks. Extensive experiments validate the system’s ability to efficiently detect and thwart various DDoS, DRDoS, and internal attacks, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying threats and restoring impacted network connections across diverse attack scenarios.

DDoS Attack Detection in Edge-IIoT Network Using Ensemble Learning

Abstract As the number of IoT devices increases daily due to the rapid growth in technology, every device and network is vulnerable to attacks because it is exposed to the internet. Denial of Service (DoS) is a prevalent type of intrusion on the Internet of Things (IoT) network in which the server becomes down due to flooding requests. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a special type of DoS attack where the network of malicious computers called botnet consumes the target’s system resources by flooding the requests. Edge computing is closely related to Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and industry 4.0. Both of them are relatively emerging technologies so security is a crucial part of them. By incorporating our contributions to the current and innovative dataset Edge-IIoT, the proposed study presents a novel approach to detect DDoS attacks in an IIoT network in the domain of edge computing, whether the traffic is normal or malicious (DDoS traffic). This study explores various Ensemble Learning (EL) techniques to predict normal and malicious DDoS traffic along with the type of DDoS attack. The study applies various preprocessing techniques like Synthetic Minority Over Sampling Technique (SMOTE), label encoding, etc. to enhance the model’s performance and reveals how EL techniques performs better in terms of accuracy than the individual classifiers. Further, the performance of all EL techniques has been investigated in terms of all evaluation measures, including the elapsed time. This important addition not only broadens the focus of study in this area but also offers insightful comparisons of the efficiency and precision of various ensemble approaches as well as individual classifiers. The study achieved a maximum of 99.99% in all evaluation measures.

A Comparative Analysis of Intrusion Detection Systems: Leveraging Classification Algorithms and Feature Selection Techniques

With the increasing use of the Internet and its coverage of all areas of life and the increasing amount of sensitive and confidential information on the Internet, the number of malicious attacks on that information has increased with the aim of destroying, changing, or misusing it. Consequently, the need to discover and prevent these kinds of attacks has increased in order to maintain privacy, reliability, and even availability. For this purpose, intelligent systems have been developed to detect these attacks, which are called Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These systems were tested and applied to special benchmark datasets that contain a large number of features and a massive number of observations. However, not all the features are important, and some are not relevant. Therefore, applying feature selection techniques becomes crucial, which select the features with the most importance and relevance in order to enhance the performance of the classification model. The aim of this review paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of various state-of-the-art IDS that use algorithm classifications to detect network attacks with the cooperation of feature selection techniques that have been applied to various well-known IDS datasets, such as KDD cup99, NSL-KDD, etc. This comparison is based on several factors, including the utilized classification technique, feature selection used, employed evaluation metrics, datasets used, and finally the highest accuracy rate obtained by each study.

A hybrid feature weighted attention based deep learning approach for an intrusion detection system using the random forest algorithm.

Due to the recent advances in the Internet and communication technologies, network systems and data have evolved rapidly. The emergence of new attacks jeopardizes network security and make it really challenging to detect intrusions. Multiple network attacks by an intruder are unavoidable. Our research targets the critical issue of class imbalance in intrusion detection, a reflection of the real-world scenario where legitimate network activities significantly out number malicious ones. This imbalance can adversely affect the learning process of predictive models, often resulting in high false-negative rates, a major concern in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). By focusing on datasets with this imbalance, we aim to develop and refine advanced algorithms and techniques, such as anomaly detection, cost-sensitive learning, and oversampling methods, to effectively handle such disparities. The primary goal is to create models that are highly sensitive to intrusions while minimizing false alarms, an essential aspect of effective IDS. This approach is not only practical for real-world applications but also enhances the theoretical understanding of managing class imbalance in machine learning. Our research, by addressing these significant challenges, is positioned to make substantial contributions to cybersecurity, providing valuable insights and applicable solutions in the fight against digital threats and ensuring robustness and relevance in IDS development. An intrusion detection system (IDS) checks network traffic for security, availability, and being non-shared. Despite the efforts of many researchers, contemporary IDSs still need to further improve detection accuracy, reduce false alarms, and detect new intrusions. The mean convolutional layer (MCL), feature-weighted attention (FWA) learning, a bidirectional long short-term memory (BILSTM) network, and the random forest algorithm are all parts of our unique hybrid model called MCL-FWA-BILSTM. The CNN-MCL layer for feature extraction receives data after preprocessing. After convolution, pooling, and flattening phases, feature vectors are obtained. The BI-LSTM and self-attention feature weights are used in the suggested method to mitigate the effects of class imbalance. The attention layer and the BI-LSTM features are concatenated to create mapped features before feeding them to the random forest algorithm for classification. Our methodology and model performance were validated using NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB-15, two widely available IDS datasets. The suggested model's accuracies on binary and multi-class classification tasks using the NSL-KDD dataset are 99.67% and 99.88%, respectively. The model's binary and multi-class classification accuracies on the UNSW-NB15 dataset are 99.56% and 99.45%, respectively. Further, we compared the suggested approach with other previous machine learning and deep learning models and found it to outperform them in detection rate, FPR, and F-score. For both binary and multiclass classifications, the proposed method reduces false positives while increasing the number of true positives. The model proficiently identifies diverse network intrusions on computer networks and accomplishes its intended purpose. The suggested model will be helpful in a variety of network security research fields and applications.

Dynamic event-triggered control for multi-channel cyber–physical systems under denial-of-service attacks

This paper studies the problem of dynamic event-triggered control in multi-channel cyber–physical systems subject to denial-of-service attacks, and the attacks are independent and asynchronous in different channels. A switching scheme is proposed to address the complexity of multi-channel network attacks, under which the sufficient conditions for closed-loop stability of the systems are obtained. Additionally, considering the different decay rates caused by the switching logic, an equivalent decay rates method, which reveals the relationship between the tolerable attack intensity and the dynamic event-triggering parameters, is proposed. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the dynamic event-triggered strategy outperforms the traditional static approaches in terms of saving communication resources, which is also verified by a simulation example.

Surveying Emerging Trends in DDoS Defense

This The DDoS attack threat is evolving, and because of this, organizations are discovering and using new modern technologies to lay the ground for more effective defensive strategies. This paper is devoted to the investigation of the most efficient methods fighting DDoS – downtime of the network, and ensuring cybersecurity on different domains. First of all, the integration of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) into cybersecurity is a very promising move with respect to fighting exactly the phishing and application-layer DDoS attacks in greater details than the machine learning approaches like the LSTMs and SAEs. Another aspect of building the effective opposition against the dummy data attacks on the critical infrastructures, for example on the power systems, is creating the multi-dimensional mitigation models composed of various timely detection techniques and robust network architecture. In addition, the usage of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) in network architectures provides a means of authentication as well as access control that can improve the resilience of a network against DDoS attacks. PUFs enables the blockade of unwanted packets of high volume traffic, allowing granular traffic filtration and isolation. By using hardware solutions such as Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack prevention, SDN-biased security frame with deep learning algorithms can improve network resilience with significant detection and response to slow-rate DDoS attacks. At last EWMA, KNN, and CUSUM as statistical methods integrated with FOG computing architectures ensure real time and effective solution for the detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks in the IoT networks, making them immune to the current as well as the continuously emerging cyber threats. Through the integration of these cutting edge methods, organizations will be able to hold their ground against cyberattacks catalyzed by DDoS menace and stay ahead of dynamic threats whenever they arise.

Effectiveness of an ensemble technique based on the distributivity equation in detecting suspicious network activity

With the growing complexity and frequency of cyber threats, there is a pressing need for more effective defense mechanisms. Machine learning offers the potential to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns indicative of malicious activity, enabling faster and more accurate threat detection. Ensemble methods, by incorporating diverse models with varying vulnerabilities, can increase resilience against adversarial attacks. This study covers the usage and evaluation of the relevance of an innovative approach of ensemble classification for identifying intrusion threats on a large CICIDS2017 dataset. The approach is based on the distributivity equation that appropriately aggregates the underlying classifiers. It combines various standard supervised classification algorithms, including Multilayer Perceptron Network, k-Nearest Neighbors, and Naive Bayes, to create an ensemble. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid ensemble method. The performance of the ensemble approach was compared with individual classifiers using measures such as accuracy, precision, recall, F-score, and area under the ROC curve. Additionally, comparisons were made with widely used state-of-the-art ensemble models, including the soft voting method (Weighted Average Probabilities), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), and Histogram-based Gradient Boosting Classification Tree (HGBC) and with existing methods in the literature using the same dataset, such as Deep Belief Networks (DBN), Deep Feature Learning via Graph (Deep GFL). Based on these experiments, it was found that some ensemble methods, such as AdaBoost and Histogram-based Gradient Classification Tree, do not perform reliably for the specific task of identifying network attacks. This highlights the importance of understanding the context and requirements of the data and problem domain. The results indicate that the proposed hybrid ensemble method outperforms traditional algorithms in terms of classification precision and accuracy, and offers insights for improving the effectiveness of intrusion detection systems.

Performance Evaluation of Deep Learning Models for Classifying Cybersecurity Attacks in IoT Networks

The Internet of Things (IoT) presents great potential in various fields such as home automation, healthcare, and industry, among others, but its infrastructure, the use of open source code, and lack of software updates make it vulnerable to cyberattacks that can compromise access to data and services, thus making it an attractive target for hackers. The complexity of cyberattacks has increased, posing a greater threat to public and private organizations. This study evaluated the performance of deep learning models for classifying cybersecurity attacks in IoT networks, using the CICIoT2023 dataset. Three architectures based on DNN, LSTM, and CNN were compared, highlighting their differences in layers and activation functions. The results show that the CNN architecture outperformed the others in accuracy and computational efficiency, with an accuracy rate of 99.10% for multiclass classification and 99.40% for binary classification. The importance of data standardization and proper hyperparameter selection is emphasized. These results demonstrate that the CNN-based model emerges as a promising option for detecting cyber threats in IoT environments, supporting the relevance of deep learning in IoT network security.

A Blockchain-Based Privacy Preserving Intellectual Property Authentication Method

With the continuous advancement of information technology, a growing number of works, including articles, paintings, and music, are being digitized. Digital content can be swiftly shared and disseminated via the Internet. However, it is also vulnerable to malicious plagiarism, which can seriously infringe upon the rights of creators and dampen their enthusiasm. To protect creators’ rights and interests, a sophisticated method is necessary to authenticate digital intellectual property rights. Traditional authentication methods rely on centralized, trustworthy organizations that are susceptible to single points of failure. Additionally, these methods are prone to network attacks that can lead to data loss, tampering, or leakage. Moreover, the circulation of copyright information often lacks transparency and traceability in traditional systems, which leads to information asymmetry and prevents creators from controlling the use and protection of their personal information during the authentication process. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, tamper-proof, and traceable attributes, addresses these issues perfectly. In blockchain technology, each node is a peer, ensuring the symmetry of information. However, the transparent feature of blockchains can lead to the leakage of user privacy data. Therefore, this study designs and implements an Ethereum blockchain-based intellectual property authentication scheme with privacy protection. Firstly, we propose a method that combines elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) encryption with digital signatures to achieve selective encryption of user personal information. Subsequently, an authentication algorithm based on Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zk-SNARK) is adopted to complete the authentication of intellectual property ownership while encrypting personal privacy data. Finally, we adopt the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to store large files, solving the problem of blockchain storage space limitations.

Optimized Duplicate Address Detection for the Prevention of Denial-of-Service Attacks in IPv6 Network

In constrained IoT networks, Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) utilizes the Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) protocol to ensure the uniqueness of IPv6 addresses. However, the DAD employed in SLAAC is susceptible to various security vulnerabilities, including issues related to confidentiality, conflicting addresses, and spoofing attacks. Malicious nodes can exploit these weaknesses to perform Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by consistently claiming a tentative address, joining with conflicting address, or disclosing assigned address. Existing measures against DAD attacks have limitations, e.g. high computation, communication overhead, energy consumption, and major protocol modification. To address these challenges, this paper presents an innovative Optimized DAD (O-DAD) that is robust, scalable, and compliant with standard specifications. In O-DAD, the uniqueness of tentative IPv6 addresses is ensured in a way that neither new nor existing nodes have knowledge of each other's exact assigned addresses. O-DAD also hampers the ability of malicious nodes to spoof new/existing nodes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed solution effectively mitigates these attacks and exhibits superior performance in terms of Address Success Ratio (ASR), computational complexity, overhead, and energy consumption. When compared to Secure, Improved, and Standard DAD, the proposed scheme reduces overhead and energy by approximately 6%, 8%, and 15%, respectively.

LPHD: A low power and high diffusion lightweight block cipher

AbstractSmart door locks pose a large number of threats such as network attacks. Its storage area and power of cipher are severely limited because the wireless nodes of smart door locks are mostly battery‐powered. Therefore, effective security solutions are urgently needed. In this paper, a new lightweight block cipher with low power named LPHD is proposed to ensure the security of the master control chip of the smart door lock terminal. We design a scheme of low power S‐box and construct the two‐stage permutation layer (TP structure) suitable for LPHD by filtering the sets of 8‐bit permutations. LPHD proposes a variant of the 8‐branch generalized Feistel structure (GFS) to realize that the bits of all branches are affected in one encryption round. The problem of slow diffusion in the standard Feistel structure is solved. The key schedule adopts the nonlinear design and reuses the encryption process of LPHD. It improves the security of the cipher and reduces hardware overhead. Moreover, we evaluate the hardware implementation and security of LPHD. The results show that LPHD for the unified encryption and decryption circuits requires only 1276 Gate Equivalents (GEs) and 1.914 W on UMC 0.18 m, which is better than other lightweight block ciphers such as SKINNY, PRESENT, and IVLBC. In summary, LPHD provides sufficient security for the master control chip of the smart door lock terminal.

Detection of Various Botnet Attacks Using Machine Learning Techniques

With the rapid growth in the quantity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices linked with the network, there exists a concurrent rise in network attacks, including overwhelming and service disruption incidents. The increasing prevalence of network attacks, such as overwhelming and service denial, poses a threat to IoT devices, leading to network disruptions and service disruption. Detecting these attacks is challenging due to the diverse array of heterogeneous devices in the IoT environment, making traditional rule-based security solutions less effective. Developing optimal security models for diverse device types is challenging. Machine learning (ML) offers an alternative approach, enabling the creation of effective security models by leveraging empirical data specific to each device. We utilize machine learning techniques for the detection of Internet of Things (IoT) attacks. Our focus is on botnet attacks directed at variety of IoT devices. We undertake the development of machine learning-based models tailored to each specific category of device for enhanced security. We utilize the N-BaIoT dataset, which incorporates injected botnet attacks (specifically Gafgyt and Mirai) across diverse IoT device types, including Doorbell, Baby Monitor, Security Camera, and Webcam. We develop models for detecting botnets for each IoT device by utilizing diverse machine learning algorithms. Following model development, we assess the utility of the models with a strong detection F1-score through classification analysis. The novelty of this work lies in crafting a Machine Learning-based framework designed to identify IoT botnet attacks, followed by successful detection of such attacks across diverse IoT devices utilizing this framework. Among the most widely used machine learning algorithms on the NBaIoT dataset, Decision Trees, Random Forests, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) demonstrate superior performance.

NERO: NEural algorithmic reasoning for zeRO-day attack detection in the IoT: A hybrid approach

Anomaly detection approaches for network intrusion detection learn to identify deviations from normal behavior on a data-driven basis. However, current approaches strive to infer the degree of abnormality of out-of-distribution samples when these appertain to different zero-day attacks. Inspired by the successes of the neural algorithmic reasoning paradigm to leverage the generalization of rule-based behavior, this paper presents a deep learning strategy for solving zero-day network attack detection and categorization. Moreover, focusing on the particular scenario of the Internet of Things (IoT), the privacy preservation requirement may imply a low training data regime for any learning algorithm. To this respect, the presented framework uses metric-based meta-learning to achieve few-shot learning capabilities. The presented pipeline is called NERO, as it imports the encode-process-decode architecture from the NEural algorithmic reasoning blueprint to converge zeRO-day attack detection policies within constrained training data.
