Proactive security in cognitive radio network: an AI-driven trust and anomaly detection approach
摘要
The area of wireless technologies witnessed a progressive advancement that has eventually assisted Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). CRN deploys accessibility to spectrum dynamically to mitigate scarcity problem of spectrum. However, this leads to an eventual threats that exploits the open nature and decentralization of CRNs. With increase of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in networking technologies, it is noted that existing security system towards safeguarding intrusion in CRN mainly utilizes static rules and seriously lacks adaptability. This causes delayed threat response and increased outliers which makes existing solution as highly inadequate towards mitigating such lethal threats in CRN. Therefore, the proposed study introduces a novel framework harnessing machine learning where the communication system in CRN is secured by fusing proactive response system, decision-making with trust awareness, statistical extraction of feature, and anomaly detection using entropy. The adoption of the hybrid design integrates prediction using machine learning with evaluation of dynamic trust as well as mitigation strategies in real-time. An extensive analysis is carried out to find that proposed model accomplishes the highest detection rate of 95.7% in average when exposed to various types of lethal threats in contrast to existing machine learning-based models.
