Combining SIL and Internet of Things(IoT) has formed a new type of agricultural IoT,known as SIL-IoT, which can improve the effectiveness of migratory phototropic pest control. However, since the SIL is connected to the Internet, it is vulnerable to various security issues.These issues can lead to serious consequences, such as tampering with the parameters of SIL, illegally starting and stopping SIL,etc. In this paper, we describe the overall security requirements of SIL-IoT and present an extensive survey of security and privacy solutions for SIL-IoT. We investigate the background and logical architecture of SIL-IoT, discuss SIL-IoT security scenarios, and analyze potential attacks. Starting from the security requirements of SIL-IoT we divide them into six categories, namely privacy, authentication, confidentiality, access control, availability,and integrity. Next, we describe the SIL-IoT privacy and security solutions, as well as the blockchain-based solutions.

文摘The rapid growth of the Internet of Things(IoT)in the industrial sector has given rise to a new term:the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT).The IIoT is a collection of devices,apps,and services that connect physical and virtual worlds to create smart,cost-effective,and scalable systems.Although the IIoT has been implemented and incorporated into a wide range of industrial control systems,maintaining its security and privacy remains a significant concern.In the IIoT contexts,an intrusion detection system(IDS)can be an effective security solution for ensuring data confidentiality,integrity,and availability.In this paper,we propose an intelligent intrusion detection technique that uses principal components analysis(PCA)as a feature engineering method to choose the most significant features,minimize data dimensionality,and enhance detection performance.In the classification phase,we use clustering algorithms such as K-medoids and K-means to determine whether a given flow of IIoT traffic is normal or attack for binary classification and identify the group of cyberattacks according to its specific type for multi-class classification.To validate the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed model,we validate the detection method on a new driven IIoT dataset called X-IIoTID.The performance results showed our proposed detection model obtained a higher accuracy rate of 99.79%and reduced error rate of 0.21%when compared to existing techniques.
文摘By the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution,interconnected devices and sensors generate large-scale,dynamic,and inharmonious data in Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)platforms.Such vast heterogeneous data increase the challenges of security risks and data analysis procedures.As IIoT grows,cyber-attacks become more diverse and complex,making existing anomaly detection models less effective to operate.In this paper,an ensemble deep learning model that uses the benefits of the Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)and the AutoEncoder(AE)architecture to identify out-of-norm activities for cyber threat hunting in IIoT is proposed.In this model,the LSTM is applied to create a model on normal time series of data(past and present data)to learn normal data patterns and the important features of data are identified by AE to reduce data dimension.In addition,the imbalanced nature of IIoT datasets has not been considered in most of the previous literature,affecting low accuracy and performance.To solve this problem,the proposed model extracts new balanced data from the imbalanced datasets,and these new balanced data are fed into the deep LSTM AE anomaly detection model.In this paper,the proposed model is evaluated on two real IIoT datasets-Gas Pipeline(GP)and Secure Water Treatment(SWaT)that are imbalanced and consist of long-term and short-term dependency on data.The results are compared with conventional machine learning classifiers,Random Forest(RF),Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP),Decision Tree(DT),and Super Vector Machines(SVM),in which higher performance in terms of accuracy is obtained,99.3%and 99.7%based on GP and SWaT datasets,respectively.Moreover,the proposed ensemble model is compared with advanced related models,including Stacked Auto-Encoders(SAE),Naive Bayes(NB),Projective Adaptive Resonance Theory(PART),Convolutional Auto-Encoder(C-AE),and Package Signatures(PS)based LSTM(PS-LSTM)model.
文摘There are many problems in Social Internet of Things(IoTs),such as complex topology information,different degree of association between nodes and overlapping communities.The idea of set pair information grain computing and clustering is introduced to solve the above problems so as to accurately describe the similarity between nodes and fully explore the multi-community structure.A Set Pair Three-Way Overlapping Community Discovery Algorithm for Weighted Social Internet of Things(WSIoT-SPTOCD)is proposed.In the local network structure,which fully considers the topological information between nodes,the set pair connection degree is used to analyze the identity,difference and reverse of neighbor nodes.The similarity degree of different neighbor nodes is defined from network edge weight and node degree,and the similarity measurement method of set pair between nodes based on the local information structure is proposed.According to the number of nodes'neighbors and the connection degree of adjacent edges,the clustering intensity of nodes is defined,and an improved algorithm for initial value selection of k-means is proposed.The nodes are allocated according to the set pair similarity between nodes and different communities.Three-way community structures composed of a positive domain,boundary domain and negative domain are generated iteratively.Next,the overlapping node set is generated according to the calculation results of community node membership.Finally,experiments are carried out on artificial networks and real networks.The results show that WSIoT-SPTOCD performs well in terms of standardized mutual information,overlapping community modularity and F1.

文摘With the rapid development of the Internet of Things(IoT),there are several challenges pertaining to security in IoT applications.Compared with the characteristics of the traditional Internet,the IoT has many problems,such as large assets,complex and diverse structures,and lack of computing resources.Traditional network intrusion detection systems cannot meet the security needs of IoT applications.In view of this situation,this study applies cloud computing and machine learning to the intrusion detection system of IoT to improve detection performance.Usually,traditional intrusion detection algorithms require considerable time for training,and these intrusion detection algorithms are not suitable for cloud computing due to the limited computing power and storage capacity of cloud nodes;therefore,it is necessary to study intrusion detection algorithms with low weights,short training time,and high detection accuracy for deployment and application on cloud nodes.An appropriate classification algorithm is a primary factor for deploying cloud computing intrusion prevention systems and a prerequisite for the system to respond to intrusion and reduce intrusion threats.This paper discusses the problems related to IoT intrusion prevention in cloud computing environments.Based on the analysis of cloud computing security threats,this study extensively explores IoT intrusion detection,cloud node monitoring,and intrusion response in cloud computing environments by using cloud computing,an improved extreme learning machine,and other methods.We use the Multi-Feature Extraction Extreme Learning Machine(MFE-ELM)algorithm for cloud computing,which adds a multi-feature extraction process to cloud servers,and use the deployed MFE-ELM algorithm on cloud nodes to detect and discover network intrusions to cloud nodes.In our simulation experiments,a classical dataset for intrusion detection is selected as a test,and test steps such as data preprocessing,feature engineering,model training,and result analysis are performed.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively detect and identify most network data packets with good model performance and achieve efficient intrusion detection for heterogeneous data of the IoT from cloud nodes.Furthermore,it can enable the cloud server to discover nodes with serious security threats in the cloud cluster in real time,so that further security protection measures can be taken to obtain the optimal intrusion response strategy for the cloud cluster.

文摘Rapid increase in the large quantity of industrial data,Industry 4.0/5.0 poses several challenging issues such as heterogeneous data generation,data sensing and collection,real-time data processing,and high request arrival rates.The classical intrusion detection system(IDS)is not a practical solution to the Industry 4.0 environment owing to the resource limitations and complexity.To resolve these issues,this paper designs a new Chaotic Cuckoo Search Optimiza-tion Algorithm(CCSOA)with optimal wavelet kernel extreme learning machine(OWKELM)named CCSOA-OWKELM technique for IDS on the Industry 4.0 platform.The CCSOA-OWKELM technique focuses on the design of feature selection with classification approach to achieve minimum computation complex-ity and maximum detection accuracy.The CCSOA-OWKELM technique involves the design of CCSOA based feature selection technique,which incorpo-rates the concepts of chaotic maps with CSOA.Besides,the OWKELM technique is applied for the intrusion detection and classification process.In addition,the OWKELM technique is derived by the hyperparameter tuning of the WKELM technique by the use of sunflower optimization(SFO)algorithm.The utilization of CCSOA for feature subset selection and SFO algorithm based hyperparameter tuning leads to better performance.In order to guarantee the supreme performance of the CCSOA-OWKELM technique,a wide range of experiments take place on two benchmark datasets and the experimental outcomes demonstrate the promis-ing performance of the CCSOA-OWKELM technique over the recent state of art techniques.

文摘Situated at the intersection of technology and medicine,the Internet of Things(IoT)holds the promise of addressing some of healthcare's most pressing challenges,from medical error,to chronic drug shortages,to overburdened hospital systems,to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.However,despite considerable recent technological advances,the pace of successful implementation of promising IoT healthcare initiatives has been slow.To inspire more productive collaboration,we present here a simple—but surprisingly underrated—problemoriented approach to developing healthcare technologies.To further assist in this effort,we reviewed the various commercial,regulatory,social/cultural,and technological factors in the development of the IoT.We propose that fog computing—a technological paradigm wherein the burden of computing is shifted from a centralized cloud server closer to the data source—offers the greatest promise for building a robust and scalable healthcare IoT ecosystem.To this end,we explore the key enabling technologies that underpin the fog architecture,from the sensing layer all the way up to the cloud.It is our hope that ongoing advances in sensing,communications,cryptography,storage,machine learning,and artificial intelligence will be leveraged in meaningful ways to generate unprecedented medical intelligence and thus drive improvements in the health of many people.
