Intrusion Detection Systems for Internet of Things

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is revolutionizing this world with its evolving applications in various aspects of life such as sensing, healthcare, remote monitoring, and so on. These systems improve the comfort and efficiency of human life, but the inherent vulnerabilities in these IoT devices create a backdoor for intruders to enter and attack the entire system. Hence, there is a need for intrusion detection systems (IDSs) designed for IoT environments to mitigate IoT-related security attacks that exploit some of these security vulnerabilities. Due to the limited computing and storage capabilities of IoT devices and the specific protocols used, conventional IDSs may not be an option for IoT environments. Since the security of IoT systems is critical, this chapter presents recent research in intrusion detection systems in IoT systems.
