A Majority Voting Scheme in Wireless Sensor Networks for Network Intrusion Detection
摘要
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), with their capacity to collect, analyze, and transfer data from distributed sensor nodes, have emerged as a revolutionary technological innovation. But these networks are open to a variety of security threats, which highlights the need for robust IDS [1] solutions. To achieve this goal, this paper attempts to present a novel ensemble learning-based IDS model that makes use of majority voting technique. First, we use a data augmentation approach called SMOTE to balance the class distribution of a dataset. Second, we lower computing costs by using PSO to discover the most valuable features. Third, we offer several base models and investigate how combining several techniques can result in a model that is more accurate. Several machine learning models are used in this instance, along with their combinations. Preprocessed dataset is fed to six classifiers, including support vector machine (SVM), K nearest neighbors (KNN), logistic regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Naïve Bayes (NB), decision trees (DT). Our comprehensive research [2] identifies the optimal model for intrusion detection in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using a huge dataset of 374,661 records from the wireless sensor network (WSN-DS) [3]. With an accuracy rate of 98.23% in binary classification settings and an impressive accuracy rate of 96.54% in multiclass classification settings, the suggested approach effectively identifies and mitigates intrusions in WSNs.
