Enhancing IoT Network Security: Unveiling the Power of Self-Supervised Learning against DDoS Attacks.

The Internet of Things (IoT), projected to exceed 30 billion active device connections globally by 2025, presents an expansive attack surface. The frequent collection and dissemination of confidential data on these devices exposes them to significant security risks, including user information theft and denial-of-service attacks. This paper introduces a smart, network-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) designed to protect IoT networks from distributed denial-of-service attacks.

Transport and Application Layer DDoS Attacks Detection to IoT Devices by Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models.

From smart homes to industrial environments, the IoT is an ally to easing daily activities, where some of them are critical. More and more devices are connected to and through the Internet, which, given the large amount of different manufacturers, may lead to a lack of security standards. Denial of service attacks (DDoS, DoS) represent the most common and critical attack against and from these networks, and in the third quarter of 2021, there was an increase of 31% (compared to the same period of 2020) in the total number of advanced DDoS targeted attacks.
