In recent years, due to the rapidly growing capacities of physical layer, device-free passive detection holds great importance for a broad range of application. Most recent works focus on motion detection, intrusion detection, and vital sign with commodity WiFi devices in the indoor environment. Conventional device-free motion detection techniques, which utilize received signal strength (RSS), may suffer from coarse granularity and high variability problems. In resorting to the finer-grained channel state information (CSI), we propose PhaseMode, a novel approach for device-free motion detection leveraging CSI phase difference data between adjacent antenna pairs. We implement our approach on commercial WiFi devices and validate its performance. We conduct experiments in different test periods of three indoor environments; the results show that the proposed scheme achieves an average accuracy over 99.4% of motion detection in different scenarios.

AbstractDevice-free passive (DfP) intrusion detection system is a system that can detect moving entities without attaching any device to the entities. To achieve good performance, the existing algorithms require proper access point (AP) deployment. It limits the applying scenario of those algorithms. We propose an intrusion detection system based on deep learning (IDSDL) with finer-grained channel state information (CSI) to free the AP position. A CSI phase propagation components decomposition algorithm is applied to obtain blurred components of CSI phase on several paths as a more sensitive detection signal. Convolutional neuron network (CNN) of deep learning is used to enable the computer to learn and detect intrusion without extracting numerical features. We prototype IDSDL to verify its performance and the experimental results indicate that IDSDL is effective and reliable.

Security in IoT networks is currently mandatory, due to the high amount of data that has to be handled. These systems are vulnerable to several cybersecurity attacks, which are increasing in number and sophistication. Due to this reason, new intrusion detection techniques have to be developed, being as accurate as possible for these scenarios. Intrusion detection systems based on machine learning algorithms have already shown a high performance in terms of accuracy. This research proposes the study and evaluation of several preprocessing techniques based on traffic categorization for a machine learning neural network algorithm. This research uses for its evaluation two benchmark datasets, namely UGR16 and the UNSW-NB15, and one of the most used datasets, KDD99. The preprocessing techniques were evaluated in accordance with scalar and normalization functions. All of these preprocessing models were applied through different sets of characteristics based on a categorization composed by four groups of features: basic connection features, content characteristics, statistical characteristics and finally, a group which is composed by traffic-based features and connection direction-based traffic characteristics. The objective of this research is to evaluate this categorization by using various data preprocessing techniques to obtain the most accurate model. Our proposal shows that, by applying the categorization of network traffic and several preprocessing techniques, the accuracy can be enhanced by up to 45%. The preprocessing of a specific group of characteristics allows for greater accuracy, allowing the machine learning algorithm to correctly classify these parameters related to possible attacks.

Security is a major challenge faced by cloud computing (CC) due to its open and distributed architecture. Hence, it is vulnerable and prone to intrusions that affect confidentiality, availability, and integrity of cloud resources and offered services. Intrusion detection system (IDS) has become the most commonly used component of computer system security and compliance practices that defends cloud environment from various kinds of threats and attacks. This chapter presents the cloud architecture, an overview of different intrusions in the cloud, the challenges and essential characteristics of cloud-based IDS (CIDS), and detection techniques used by CIDS and their types. Then, the authors analyze 24 pertinent CIDS with respect to their various types, positioning, detection time, and data source. The analysis also gives the strength of each system and limitations in order to evaluate whether they carry out the security requirements of CC environment or not.

In this paper, a cluster-based hybrid security framework called HSFA for ad hoc networks is proposed and evaluated. The proposed security framework combines both specification and anomaly detection techniques to efficiently detect and prevent wide range of routing attacks. In the proposed hierarchical architecture, cluster nodes run a host specification-based intrusion detection system to detect specification violations attacks such as fabrication, replay, etc. While the cluster heads run an anomaly-based intrusion detection system to detect wormhole and rushing attacks. The proposed specification-based detection approach relies on a set of specifications automatically generated, while anomaly-detection uses statistical techniques. The proposed security framework provides an adaptive response against attacks to prevent damage to the network. The security framework is evaluated by simulation in presence of malicious nodes that can launch different attacks. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid security framework performs significantly better than other existing mechanisms.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to mitigate vulnerabilities in web applications, security detection and prevention are the most important mechanisms for security. However, most existing research focuses on how to prevent an attack at the web application layer, with less work dedicated to setting up a response action if a possible attack happened. Design/methodology/approach – A combination of a Signature-based Intrusion Detection System (SIDS) and an Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection System (AIDS), namely, the Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IIDPS). Findings – After evaluating the new system, a better result was generated in line with detection efficiency and the false alarm rate. This demonstrates the value of direct response action in an intrusion detection system. Research limitations/implications – Data limitation. Originality/value – The contributions of this paper are to first address the problem of web application vulnerabilities. Second, to propose a combination of an SIDS and an AIDS, namely, the IIDPS. Third, this paper presents a novel approach by connecting the IIDPS with a response action using fuzzy logic. Fourth, use the risk assessment to determine an appropriate response action against each attack event. Combining the system provides a better performance for the Intrusion Detection System, and makes the detection and prevention more effective.


Technological advancement in the design of wireless communication have propelled an active interest in the field of Wireless Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs). Now days the speed and privacy are more reason of concern than the performance. The attacks can occur and there is always a chance that it will be a success. One of the major problems with Wireless Network security is that, all types of attacks are not known, and new ones emerge constantly [6]. Moreover, there is also a range of attacks that can be launched in the different mode, and thus making it more difficult for the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect them. Therefore, main approach in network security is to detect and remove malicious intrusions. In this paper three different techniques have been proposed for securing Wireless LAN, WSNs and MANETs.
