Federated deep learning intrusion detection system on software defined-network based internet of things

Abstrak

The internet of things (IoT) and software-defined networks (SDN) play a significant role in enhancing efficiency and productivity. However, they encounter possible risks. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been employed in intrusion detection systems (IDSs), serving as an important instrument for improving security. Nevertheless, the necessity to store data on a centralized server poses a potential threat. Federated learning (FL) addresses this problem by training models locally. In this work, a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) is implemented on multi-controller SDN-based IoT networks. The interplanetary file system (IPFS) FL has been employed to share and train deep learning (DL) models. Several clients participated in the training process using custom generated dataset IoT-SDN by training the model locally and sharing the parameters in an encrypted format, improving the overall effectiveness, safety, and security of the network. The model has successfully identified several types of attacks, including distributed denial of service (DDoS), denial of service (DoS), botnet, brute force, exploitation, malware, probe, web-based, spoofing, recon, and achieving an accuracy of 99.89% and a loss of 0.005.
