RCA-IDS: A Novel Real-time Cloud-based Adversarial IDS for Connected Vehicles

This paper focuses on the requirement for creating novel frameworks to monitor and identify cyberattacks in Connected Vehicles (CVs). The health of the sensors in CVs becomes crucial when performance predictions and communication-related errors can compromise the resilience of the sensory network. To meet the evolving demands of connected vehicle (CV) systems, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) must be regularly updated and tailored as powerful monitoring entities. To equip cloud-tied operators with the ability to comprehend unusual sensor data originating from vehicles at the cloud level, we designed an innovative Real-time Cloud-based Adversarial IDS called RCA-IDS. This system exclusively focuses on detecting and explaining instances of sensor data manipulation caused by poisoning attacks. Two attack mechanisms were created utilizing random-based and silhouette-based clustering methods. Subsequently, two defence mechanisms based on multi-layer neural network-type deep learning were proposed to counter these attacks. The newly introduced RCA-IDS demonstrates a minimum accuracy of 90% in detecting cyberattacks.
