Behavior Anomaly Detection in IoT Networks

Abstract

Data encryption makes deep packet inspection less suitable nowadays, and the need of analyzing encrypted traffic is growing. Machine learning brings new options to recognize a type of communication despite the heterogeneity of encrypted IoT traffic right at the network edge. We propose the design of scalable architecture and the method for behavior anomaly detection in IoT networks. Combination of two existing semi-supervised techniques that we used ensures higher reliability of anomaly detection and improves results achieved by a single method. We describe conducted classification and anomaly detection experiments allowed thanks to existing and our training datasets. Presented satisfying results provide a subject for further work and allow us to elaborate on this idea.
