A Diffusion Model Based on Network Intrusion Detection Method for Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) connect intelligent manufacturing equipment equipped with sensors, wireless and RFID communication technologies through data interaction, which makes the interior of the factory, even between factories, become a whole. However, intelligent factories will suffer information leakage and equipment damage when being attacked by ICPS intrusion. Therefore, the network security of ICPS cannot be ignored, and researchers have conducted in-depth research on network intrusion detection for ICPS. Though machine learning and deep learning methods are often used for network intrusion detection, the problem of data imbalance can cause the model to pay attention to the misclassification cost of the prevalent class, but ignore that of the rare class, which seriously affects the classification performance of network intrusion detection models. Considering the powerful generative power of the diffusion model, we propose an ICPS Intrusion Detection system based on the Diffusion model (IDD). Firstly, data corresponding to the rare class is generated by the diffusion model, which makes the training dataset of different classes balanced. Then, the improved BiLSTM classification network is trained on the balanced training set. Extensive experiments are conducted to show that the IDD method outperforms the existing baseline method on several available datasets.
