摘要

The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) networks necessitates efficient intrusion detection systems (IDS) capable of operating within the stringent resource constraints of IoT devices. This study introduces KronNet, a lightweight feed-forward neural network enhanced with Kronecker product operations, designed for real-time IoT intrusion detection. KronNet leverages Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)-based oversampling and a hybrid loss function combining Focal Loss and Cross-Entropy with adaptive class weighting to address class imbalance, ensuring robust detection across diverse attack types. Evaluated on the CICIoT2023 and BoT-IoT datasets, KronNet achieves exceptional performance, with accuracies of 99.01% and 99.91%, weighted F1-scores of 99.01% and 99.91%, and low false positive rates of 0.03% and 0.01%, respectively. The model operates with minimal computational overhead, utilizing 5,074 parameters (19.82 KB) for CICIoT2023 and 4,703 parameters (18.37 KB) for BoT-IoT, with inference times of 0.209 ms and 0.208 ms. Post-quantization, memory usage reduces to 4.96 KB and 4.59 KB, with negligible accuracy degradation (0.06% and 0.01% loss). Compared to state-of-the-art models, KronNet demonstrates up to 15,829× lower FLOPS and 12,010× faster inference, making it a highly efficient solution for edge deployment in resource-constrained IoT environments. This work advances IoT cybersecurity by delivering a scalable, accurate, and lightweight IDS capable of real-time threat detection.
