A Balanced Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Sensor Networks in a Big Data Environment Using CNN-SVM Model

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) were exposed to several distinct safety issues and attacks regarding gathering and sending data. In this scenario, one of the most prevalent WSN assaults that may target any tier of the protocol stack is the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The current research suggested various strategies to find the attack in the network. However, it has classification challenges. An effective ensemble deep learning-based intrusion detection system to identify the assault in the WSN network was, therefore, suggested in this research to address this issue. The data pre-processing involves converting qualitative data into numeric data using the One-Hot Encoding technique. Following that, Normalization Process was carried out. Then Manta-Ray Foraging Optimization is suggested to choose the best subset of features. Then Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) oversampling creates a new minority sample to balance the processed dataset. Finally, CNN–SVM classifier is proposed to classify the attack kinds. The Accuracy, F-Measure, Precision, and Recall metrics were used to assess the outcomes of 99.75%, 99.21%, 100%, and 99.6%, respectively. Compared to existing approaches, the proposed method has shown to be extremely effective in detecting DoS attacks in WSNs.
