As a consequence of the growing number of cyberattacks on IoT devices, the need for defences like intrusion detection systems (IDSs) has significantly risen. But current IDS implementations for IoT are complex to design, difficult to incorporate, platform-specific, and limited by IoT device's resource constraints. This paper proposes a deployment-ready network IDS for IoT that overcomes the shortcomings of the existing IDS solutions and can detect 22 types of attacks. The proposed IDS provide the flexibility to work in multiple modes as per IoT device computing power, made possible via development of three machine learning-based IDS modules. The intrusion detection task has been divided at two levels: at edge devices (using two light modules based on neural network and decision tree) and at centralised controller (using a random forest and XGBoost combination). To ensure the best working tandem of developed modules, different IDS deployment strategies are also given.

In this era, information security plays a crucial and sensitive task as this data is potentially vulnerable such that different types of attacks may happen and affects the data. This paper presents a new hybrid cryptosystem for DNA cryptography based on GA and a coding table. The encryption algorithm provides multi-layer security (jamming with spiral matrix, generating coding table, coding of DNA characters, XOR-crossover operation) for DNA sequence. The decryption algorithm follows these steps: binary and segment the ciphertext, applied XOR-crossover operation, Transform each block to ASCII code, decoding of characters, remove jamming and generate the plaintext. The performance evaluation of this algorithm is based on confusion and diffusion, avalanche effect, and encryption time. The experimental results show that these algorithms yield an average time 0.835 ms/0.78 ms for 1,000 bases. The result shows outperformance in security and a weak correlation coefficient between ciphertexts generated and plaintext.

This paper proposes deep convolution neural network-based malware classification approach. The proposed work is a transfer learning approach, where we have developed multiple deep learning classification models. The classification models are built by adapting multiple pre-trained convolutional neural networks, namely; Xception, VGG19, InceptionResNetV2, MobileNet, InceptionV3, DenseNet, and ResNet50. In the current work, weights of pre-trained models are embellished by adding three fully connected (FC) layers. The proposed models have been evaluated on two different malware datasets, Microsoft and MalImg, consisting of malware images. The focus of this paper is to analyse the performance of fine-tuned CNN models for malware classification. The results of our experiments show that InceptionResNetV2 and Xception models have performed considerably well for the Microsoft dataset with accuracy equal to 96% and 95%, respectively. In the case of the MalImg dataset, InceptionResNetV2, InceptionV3, and Xception models have achieved excellent performance with an accuracy of up to 96%.
