Sandpiper optimization with hybrid deep learning model for blockchain-assisted intrusion detection in iot environment

Abstract

Intrusion detection in the Internet of Things (IoTs) is a vital unit of IoT safety. IoT devices face diverse kinds of attacks, and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) play a significant role in detecting and responding to these threats. A typical IDS solution can be utilized from the IoT networks for monitoring traffic, device behaviour, and system logs for signs of intrusion or abnormal movement. Deep learning (DL) approaches are exposed to promise in enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of IDS for IoT devices. Blockchain (BC) aided intrusion detection from IoT platforms provides many benefits, including better data integrity, transparency, and resistance to tampering. This paper projects a novel sandpiper optimizer with hybrid deep learning-based intrusion detection (SPOHDL-ID) from the BC-assisted IoT platform. The key contribution of the SPOHDL-ID model is to accomplish security via the intrusion detection and classification process from the IoT platform. In this case, the BC technology can be used for a secure data-sharing process. In the presented SPOHDL-ID technique, the selection of features from the network traffic data takes place using the SPO model. Besides, the SPOHDL-ID technique employs the HDL model for intrusion detection, which involves the design of a convolutional neural network with a stacked autoencoder (CNN-SAE) model. The beetle search optimizer algorithm (BSOA) method is used for the hyperparameter tuning procedure to increase the recognition outcomes of the CNN-SAE technique. An extensive simulation outcome is created to exhibit a better solution to the SPOHDL-ID method. The experimental validation of the SPOHDL-ID method portrayed a superior accuracy value of 99.59 % and 99.54 % over recent techniques under the ToN-IoT and CICIDS-2017 datasets.
