MCIDS-Multi Classifier Intrusion Detection system for IoT Cyber Attack using Deep Learning algorithm

The massive increase in development, deployment and usage of IoT has given rise to smart cities. These smart city devices have the ability to perform communications on their own which require free flow of data. The interconnectivity has also resulted in exponential growth of data being processed, making it susceptible to intrusion attacks. Traditional IDS systems are not designed to work efficiently in an IoT network as these devices have restricted resources and sparse functionality. To tackle the cyber security threats in IoT, MCIDS (Multi Classifier Intrusion Detection system) has been proposed which is based on deep learning algorithm. The UNSW-NB15 dataset is utilised to train and test the model. Proposed Solution can effectively detect and alert Reconnaissance, Backdoors, Analysis, DoS, Fuzzers, Generic, Worms and Shellcodes and achieve high accuracy with low false positives.
