Intrusion Detection in Smart IoT Devices for People with Disabilities

An intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a system that resides inside the network and monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic. It prevents unethical activities from happening over the network. With the use of IoT devices, network traffic is also increased. Intruders and hackers are attracted to this network because of its low processing power and openness. IoT has transformed diagnostic and monitoring systems for patients in the healthcare industry. However, a secure network is needed for these health care devices. This research proposes a hybrid model to secure the IoT network from external intrusions. The proposed method consists of preprocessing data with the help of normalization and feature selection by removing high correlated features with the help of the Pearson correlation coefficient and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification. The proposed approach has achieved an accuracy of 99.3%, precision of 99.1% and an F-1 score of 99.25% on the standard dataset. Results have been compared with state-of-the-art, and the proposed method outperforms all performance measures.
