Research on Intrusion Detection Based on Particle Swarm Optimization in IoT

With the advent of the “Internet plus” era, the Internet of Things (IoT) is gradually penetrating into various fields, and the scale of its equipment is also showing an explosive growth trend. The age of the “Internet of Everything” is coming. The integration and diversification of IoT terminals and applications make IoT more vulnerable to various intrusion attacks. Therefore, it is particularly important to design an intrusion detection model that guarantees the security, integrity and reliability of the IoT. Traditional intrusion detection technology has the disadvantages of low detection rate and poor scalability, which cannot adapt to the complex and changeable IoT environment. In this paper, we propose a particle swarm optimization-based gradient descent (PSO-LightGBM) for the intrusion detection. In this method, PSO-LightGBM is used to extract the features of the data and inputs it into one-class SVM (OCSVM) to discover and identify malicious data. The UNSW-NB15 dataset is applied to verify the intrusion detection model. The experimental results show that the model we propose is very robust in detecting either normal or various malicious data, especially small sample data such as Backdoor, Shellcode and Worms.
