Performance Assessment of Open Source IDS for improving IoT Architecture Security implemented on WBANs

The evolution of the IoT field and its strong presence in multiple domains has raised new security challenges and concerns, which explain the large number of existing studies on this phenomenon. Despite the fact that many security solutions have been applied, security threats and vulnerabilities remain present with new leaks discovery and malicious attempt to gain unauthorized access. In this research, we tackle this problem by providing a new solution of implementing open source IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) into an IoT architecture and we perform a comprehensive study of the performance of our selected IDS regarding their detection rate and usage consumption. The proposed model is innovative since it brings a novel approach of implementing existing IDSs over the WBANs network taking into consideration all specifications and characteristics of the different layers that compose the architecture of the IoT system implemented to monitor human health.
