The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a paradigm shift in which the Internet is connected to real objects in a range of areas, including home automation, industrial processes, human health, and environmental monitoring. The global market for IoT devices is booming, and it is estimated that there will be 50 billion connected devices by the end of 2025. This explosion of IoT devices, which can be expanded more easily than desktop PCs, has led to an increase in cyber-attacks involving IoT devices. To address this issue, it is necessary to create novel approaches for identifying attacks launched by hacked IoT devices. Due to the possibility that these attacks would succeed, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are required. IDS' feature selection stage is widely regarded as the most essential stage. This stage is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, numerous machine learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed to enhance this stage to boost an IDS's performance. These approaches, however, did not produce desirable results in terms of accuracy and detection rate (DR). In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid Autoencoder and Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (HAEMPSO) for feature selection and deep neural network (DNN) for classification. The PSO with modification of inertia weight was utilized to optimize the parameters of DNN. The experimental analysis was performed on two realistic UNSW-NB15 and BoT-IoT datasets that are suitable for IoT environment. The findings obtained by analyzing the proposed HAEMPSO against the Generic attack in the UNSW-NB15 dataset gave an accuracy of 98.8%, and a DR of 99.9%. While the benign class revealed an accuracy of 99.9% and DR of 99.7%. In the BoT-IoT dataset, the DDoS HTTP attack revealed an accuracy of 99.22% and DR of 97.79%. While the benign class gave an accuracy of 97.54% and DR of 97.92%. In comparison with the state-of-the-art machine learning schemes, our proposed HAEMPSO-DNN achieved a competitive feat in terms of DR and accuracy.
1. Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a unique concept in the field of computer networking that enables the communication of various types of objects via the Internet (Fenanir et al., 2019). These devices can be RFID tags, actuators, sensors, or mobile phones; all of which connect and cooperate utilizing a single addressing technique (Abbas et al., 2019). The IoT allows the seamless integration of all kinds of infrastructures, at all times, for all of us, and on any object, as a result of ubiquitous computing (Atzori et al., 2010). The IoT is a network of numerous networked things that enables people and objects to communicate and build intelligent environments in areas such as transportation, agriculture, healthcare, energy, and cities (Marlow, 2018). The IoT architecture model depicted in Figure 1 is comprised of three layers; the application, the network, and the perception layers (Leo et al., 2014). The IoT is a network of sensors-equipped objects or things. Sensors are placed on goods or things and the Internet (usually wirelessly) to collect and exchange data in the IoT (Askarzadeh, 2016).
Figure 1. The Internet of Things design pattern (Fenanir et al., 2019).
IoT technologies present various previously unimagined prospects for human interconnection. Hypertext transfer protocol, message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT), and domain name system are the internet protocol that runs IoT services under the TCP/IP architecture (Saheed, 2022a). IoT has the potential to improve people's lives and also contribute to the development of the smart city. The IoT provides a centralized stage for sharing of information across the industry, environment, and society (Singh et al., 2020). As a result, efficient coordination between promised services and accessible resources is required for IoT-enabled intelligent cities to function effectively (Arshad et al., 2020). Due to the exponential growth of IoT devices, we require improved cellular network architecture to deliver high-speed connections among such IoT gadgets (Thamilarasu and Chawla, 2019). Mid-band, low-band, and millimeter-wave frequency ranges enhance the rate at which data is transferred over multi-hop connections in these designs. The fast growth in the quantity and variety of intelligent devices linked to the Internet has involved intruders looking to disseminate hateful content over this network of things (Subham et al., 2022). Intrusion behavior refers to an effort to violate the integrity, confidentiality, and access to specified resources, and it is the core focus of the Internet of Things Security Research Institute (Sicari et al., 2020). By gaining access to users' personal information, spying, and causing financial losses, attackers may jeopardize their privacy and security. Apart from compromising the security of the IoT, these intrusions pose a threat to the entire ecosystem, including applications, sites, servers, and social media via controlled smart objects such as robot networks (Li et al., 2020).
The IoT gadgets are regularly organized in an unsafe and hostile environment, increasing their susceptibility to various threats (Sedjelmaci et al., 2016). As a result, security solutions are critical for defending IoT gadgets against intruder attacks (Kayode Saheed et al., 2022). An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a tool that analyzes the activities and events of a system or network to detect attacks against them (Raza et al., 2013). It may serve as a secondary line of protection against intruders (Raza et al., 2013). The basic goal of an IDS is to accurately identify as many attacks as possible while utilizing the minimal energy feasible in resource-constrained circumstances (Liang et al., 2020).
Surprisingly, IDS is recommended as an excellent tool for monitoring network action, assisting in determining unauthorized use, detecting system damage, and protecting systems from internal and external invasions (Kayode Saheed et al., 2022). IDS can be categorized into two types based on the monitored environment: host-IDS (HIDS) and network-IDS (NIDS)(Habib et al., 2020). The latter are strategically located throughout the network, to cover all susceptible points. They must examine network circulation by inspecting the payload and header fields of each packet. Their composition is determined by the sensitivity of the application. There is always a chance that an event will be misclassified as negative due to configuration issues or the existence of encrypted traffic. HIDS continuously collects and evaluates all organizational network gadgets to identify insider threats (Saheed et al., 2022a). They take a photo of existing system logs and compare them to older ones to spot anything unexpected (Ahanger et al., 2022). If something, suspicious occurs, HIDS initiates the appropriate action based on its programming (Subham et al., 2022). Thus, HIDS gain a better understanding of internal traffic flow and are utilized to protect against any intrusion that might be hidden by a NIDS during the initial phase.
Network security is the primary concern in IoT networks because the majority of manufacturers do not prioritize security standards throughout the design. With its rapid expansion in numerous domains like wearable gadgets, smart sensors, and home appliances, the IoT is poised to touch numerous facets of our lives. The pervasiveness, connectivity, and limited processing capability of IoT devices define them.
As a result of the limits of IoT technologies, security has emerged as a critical concern for IoT networks and services. The Internet of Things devices are small, varied, and lack compatibility (Atlam et al., 2022). These qualities broaden the attack surface and complicate the development of any security solution (Ramadan and Yadav, 2020). Not only are IoT devices susceptible to network attacks (Putra et al., 2020), but also powerful hackers from unauthorized internet users. Cryptography algorithms are presented in some literature for IoT authentication and confidentiality. However, cryptography techniques are computationally and time-intensive, making them unsuitable for IoT devices (Minh Dang et al., 2019). Additionally, cryptography techniques aid in the authenticity and integrity of networks and data. Additional technologies are critical to measuring IoT network traffic to avoid the current network attacks. To maintain such functionality, an IDS is critical. IDS are responsible for monitoring, analyzing, and detecting network attacks.
The literature discusses a variety of IDS strategies. These strategies are classified as either anomaly or signature (Blanco et al., 2019). The signature-based detection method is founded on an account of pre-defined harmful activity patterns (Saheed et al., 2022b), whereas the anomaly detection approach is based on the observation of deviations from normal behavior to indicate intrusions (Saheed and Hamza-usman, 2020). As a result, the strategy based on anomalies was capable of detecting unknown attacks that did not follow predetermined activity patterns (Saheed, 2022b). We provide an anomaly-based IDS methodology for IoT networks in this paper.
Numerous solutions have been developed in the past that utilize Machine Learning/Deep Learning methodologies to detect/prevent invasions. Numerous of them placed a lesser emphasis on the pre-processing stage, which is largely concerned with feature selection. Therefore, it is possible to witness a direct effect on the classifier of the supplied algorithm. Additionally, the time needed for training the model is increased as a result of the insufficient pre-processing stage. The training time is also increased as a result of the current neural network algorithm's back-propagation technique. This work presents a hybrid optimization and Deep Neural Network-based (DNN)-based better IDS model for an IoT-enabled intelligent approach. This paper addresses the aforementioned difficulties by presenting two techniques for feature selection and a DNN for the model classification. In this research, we propose a novel hybrid Autoencoder and Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (HAEMPSO) for feature selection and deep neural network (DNN) for classification. The PSO with modification of inertia weight was utilized to optimize the parameters of DNN. The experimental analysis was performed on two realistic UNSW-NB15 and BoT-IoT datasets that are suitable for IoT environment.
The following are the paper's main contributions:
• A hybrid Autoencoder with the modification of Particle Swarm Optimization (HAEMPSO) for feature selection is proposed in this research.
• To minimize information leakage on the test set, an effective hybrid IDS is constructed using the minimum-maximum normalization strategy for feature scaling.
• The HAEMPSO approach combines autoencoder and modified particle swarm optimization (global best position and self-best position) to prioritize the features that contribute the most to the output, hence resulting in a lightweight model.
• Additionally, a model based on Deep Neural Networks is developed to improve classification accuracy.
• Leverages the realistic UNSW-NB15 and BoT-IoT datasets that reflect modern-day attacks in the IoT ecosystem.
• The proposed hybrid feature selection DNN model outperformed the traditional ML algorithms.
The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. The relevant work was discussed in Section Related work. The approach is then presented in Section Materials and methodology, followed by the evaluation results obtained through experiments and comparative studies in Section Proposed HAEMPSO-DNN model. Finally, Section Results and discussion has the conclusion.

Pongle and Chavan (2015) demonstrated the capability of an intrusion detection system (IDS) to identify wormhole attacks in IoT gadgets. The researcher shoulder that successful wormhole assaults always leave traces on the system, such as a huge volume of control packets transmitted between the two ends of the tube or the establishment of a large number of neighbors following the attack. Basis on this reason, the researchers presented three ways of detecting such network anomalies. According to their research, the approach yields a true positive of 94% for wormhole attacks and 87% for identifying both the compromise and the attacker. However, no information is provided regarding the rate of false positives. Additionally, the scientists examined the power and memory consumption of the nodes. Due to its low power and memory consumption, the suggested system appears to be well-suited for IoT devices. On the other hand, the data collected should be compared to published literature to establish a baseline.
Aydin et al. (2009) showed a hybrid intrusion detection system (HIDS) by integrating two approaches with the Snort signature-based IDS.

Elbasiony et al. (2013) established a hybrid architecture for combining misuse and anomaly detection using two methods: (1) the K-means algorithm and (2) RF. Precisely, this system detects abuse intrusions using the RF approach and anomalies utilizing the k-means algorithm. Because RF makes use of correlated variables, this framework exhibits low-performance degradation and interpretability.
Kim et al. (2014) connect a model for detecting misuse with one for detecting anomalies in a breakdown structure. This inquiry makes use of the C4.5 model technique and many one-class SVMs. The NSL-KDD data experiments reveal that the presented HIDS strategy outperforms typical intrusion detection techniques in terms of testing time, training time, and detection performance. Li et al. (2021a) suggested a machine learning-based classification approach for attribution companies utilizing APT malware in IoT. To more effectively identify advanced persistent threat attack activities and safeguard the security of IoT, the authors try to identify the actual attacking organization entities.

The SMOTE-RF model works well and has steady performance when classifying APT malware, and the approach of feature extraction provided obtained more than 80% accuracy in general models.
An ensemble model was presented by Li et al. (2021b) for identifying fraudulent mining codes on cloud platforms. For the classification, they used bagging and boosting algorithms.

Liu et al. (2021) provide a gradient descent-based particle swarm optimization method (PSO-LightGBM) for IoT intrusion detection. This technique employs PSO-LightGBM to extract the data's features before feeding it into one-class SVM (OCSVM) to find and recognize harmful data. The intrusion detection model is tested using the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested model is extremely reliable in identifying both legitimate and different types of harmful data with an accuracy of 86.68%.
An IDS for IoT was suggested by Alterazi (2022). This article investigates various performance-based AI models to accurately forecast attacks and issues with IoT devices. The efficiency of the recommended method was demonstrated using ant colony optimization, genetic algorithms, and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The findings of the suggested method using PSO performed about 73% better than those of the current systems.
The study (Lin et al., 2015) introduced CANN, a technique for merging nearest neighbors and cluster centers. On the KDD CUP'99 dataset, experimental results indicate that the CANN technique outperforms SVM and K-NN classifiers. Thanigaivelan et al. (2016) suggested a classifier technique based on a mixture of three algorithms, namely the C4.5 DT algorithm, the NBTree algorithm, and the random tree algorithm.
Pongle and Chavan (2015) introduced a HIDS in by combining extreme learning machines, K-means clustering, and support vector machines. Experiments on the KDD CUP'99 data indicate that the hybrid NIDS has the potential to significantly increase performance and attain an accuracy of 95.75 percent.
Aydin et al. (2009) developed the HCPTC-IDS IDS system, which is founded on the aggregate probability of predictions from a large number of algorithms. The HCPTC-IDS system consists of two layers: (1) a tree of learners; and (2) a final classification that integrates the first layer's multiple probability predictions. Experiments with NSL-KDD and KDD'99 demonstrate that the HCPTC-IDS system outperforms previous similarity-based intrusion detection systems, with an accuracy of 96.27% for KDD'99 and 89.75% on NSL-KDD.
The study (Wang et al., 2010) proposed a method for finding anomalies that incorporate both an SVM and a GA to enhance the classification performance of SVMs. Utilizing the KDD CUP 1999 data, the experimental findings suggest an extraordinary true-positive of 97.3% and a false-positive of 0.017.
Derhab (2019) introduced the RSL-KNN IDS for detecting simulated command attacks. The system is based on a technique called random subspace learning and the KNN algorithm. The RSL-KNN scheme is used in conjunction with blockchain to identify any manipulation of the OpenFlow regulation in real time.
An autoencoder model for intrusion detection in an IoT environment was proposed by Lahasan and Samma (2022). The model has a shallow architecture, few hidden neurons, and few input features. On the NBaIoT dataset, classification was performed using the KNN technique. The proposed model obtained anomaly detection accuracy of 99%, according to experimental results. The limitation of this study is that the autoencoder used is computationally expensive.
An autoencoder strategy for intrusion detection in the Industrial Internet of Things was suggested by Zhang and Zhang (2022). Dimensionality reduction was performed using the sparse autoencoder. With an accuracy of 95.42 percent, the experiment has shown that the suggested method has good network attack identification and detection capability.
Ferrag and Maglaras (2020) established a unique energy framework based on blockchain and DL, dubbed DeepCoin, for smart grids. The architecture of DeepCoin employs two distinct schemes: one based on deep learning and another on the blockchain. The deep learning-based technique detects network threats via RNN, whereas the blockchain-based method detects fake transactions. We recommend the reader to the recent work in Ferrag et al. (2019a) for additional details on DL methods used in cyber security intrusion detection. Table 1 summarizes exemplary studies on hybrid IDS, which incorporate ML, DL, and DM techniques. Additionally, it discusses the security problem that each of these solutions attempts to address, as well as the dataset used to assess their performance.
The majority of relevant papers make use of the old KDD'99 and NSL-KDD sets of data, which are of incomplete real-world relevance for a current IDS. Since these datasets were produced in 1999, both malicious and innocuous network traffic has evolved significantly, and the results generated from them are typical of limited utility. To address various limitations of previously published approaches, such as low detection rate of infrequent attacks, misclassification of attacks, and accuracy. We offer a novel hybrid intrusion detection system (IDS) that incorporates two distinct models, namely Autoencoder and Particle Swarm Optimization. Additionally, we utilized the BoT-IoT (Shafiq et al., 2020) and UNSW-NB15 (Choudhary and Kesswani, 2020) datasets, which we divide into training and testing sets, to assess their effectiveness in noticing network intrusions and to compare it to the performance of other machine learning approaches given by earlier researchers.
2.1. The motivation for the present study
Security remains the primary concern while developing IoT applications, as it cannot be overlooked due to the interconnectedness and sensitivity of the acquired data. Additionally, the IoT is restrained by several limits in terms of devices and components, such as the limited capacity for processing, power consumption, and memory, as well as by the IoT's heterogeneous and ubiquitous nature, compounding the concerns (Oh et al., 2014). As a result, implementing a security policy for these systems is critical. Along with the establishment of firewalls and increasingly sophisticated authentication methods, such security policies must be complemented with monitoring technologies that audit the information system and detect potential intrusions. IoT networks become possible due to advancements in sensing technologies. However, IoT devices have a variety of restrictions, including restricted energy sources and capabilities. Additionally, typical cryptography and IDS approaches may be incompatible with such a network. Moreover, as more people gain access to the Internet, hacking tactics become more sophisticated and accessible (Ramadan and Yadav, 2020). As a result, establishing an efficient monitoring strategy for intrusion detection presents a difficulty. This results in a variety of research suggestions aimed at improving the performance of IoT intrusion detection. NSL-KDD cup is a well-known dataset that has been widely explored. It evolved into a de facto standard for evaluating new algorithms. Regrettably, the existing approaches have the following shortcomings:
• Minimum attack categorization rate
• The minimum attack detection rate
• Overhead time
• The feature selection stage is costly as a result of the huge dimensional data and
• Minimal accuracy.
Thus, the issue at hand is to propose an efficient IDS approach that solves the following issues where the detection rate is critical, particularly for the IoT runtime process. Due to the massive dimension of the data, the feature selection process is time-consuming. Additionally, accuracy is a concern when it comes to IoT devices being employed in mission-critical areas such as military systems or healthcare. In this research, we used the minimum-maximum technique for feature scaling and a unique HAEPSO for feature selection. There are, however, additional feature scaling and selection strategies, such as the z-score methodology and LDA. While the z-score technique does not necessarily require knowledge of the standard deviation, the LDA technique is extremely sensitive to outliers. As a result, we decided to preprocess the data using minimum-maximum and to choose features in the second step using a new hybrid AE-PSO. The final phase entails classifying the data with the help of the DNN.
3. Materials and methodology
We present the proposed system, autoencoder, particle swarm optimization, HAEPSO, and DNN in this section.
3.1. Proposed system
One of our key objectives is for the IDS to be compliant and lightweight with the processing capability of the constrained nodes. As a result of the limited processing capabilities and power consumption of an IoT node, an active intrusion detection sensor cannot be deployed in each node. As a result, we built a central IDS design to address the issues of diminished capabilities on one hand and peripheral diversity on the other, with the IDS running on the IoT's network above the Gateway element. The activity diagram in Figure 2 depicts our Hybrid Intrusion Detection System (HIDS), which identifies intrusions by comparing observed behavior to expected behavior. An alarm is raised if the two behaviors diverge. It is divided into three stages:
a. Activity Receiver: During this phase, the HIDS component activity receiver collects and records all IoT devices (such as Alexa with IP address = 111.30.42.59.70; camera with IP address = 128.145.78; Miscellaneous with IP address = 216.46.84.91; mobile with IP address = 45; and outlet with IP address = 222.67) activities to construct the current actions, which will be presented as a feature space.
b. Network Anomaly Detection: The detection stage is responsible for analyzing and detecting intrusions. It is the central aspect of our HIDS.
c. Alert: Following the identification of an attack, the suggested system stops the user and terminates his session, before alerting the administration to take appropriate action.
3.2. Autoencoder
The AE is a three (3) layer unsupervised neural network (NN) with an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. Figure 3 illustrates the general organization of AE, whereas the representation is depicted in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Representation of an autoencoder (Yan and Han, 2018).
The AE may gradually change individual feature vectors into generic feature vectors, thus realizing the nonlinear transition from a high to low-dimension data space. The automatic encoder's operation can be divided into two different phases (Yan and Han, 2018): encoding and decoding, which can be characterized as follows: The method of encoding from the input via the hidden layer is as follows:
The method of decoding from the hidden to the reconstruction layer is as follows:
In the formulas above, K = (k, k,…, kn) is the data input vector, M = (m1, m2, …mn) is the vector reconstruction of the data input, and E = (e, e,…,e) is the dimensional low vector output from the hidden layer, K ϵ Sn, M ϵ Sn, E ϵ Sn (n is the input dimension vector and m is the units hidden).
Wxy ϵ Snxm is the weight matrix for the linking between the layer input and the layer hidden. Wyu ϵ Snxm is the connection weight matrix between the output and layer hidden. To rebuild the data input with the greatest accuracy feasible while minimizing resource usage during model training, Wyu = typically is in the experiments. ∅1ϵ Snxm and ∅2 ϵ Snxm are the vector basis of the hidden and input layer. fθ1(.) and fθ2 (.) are the functions used for activation of the output neurons and input neurons, whose roles are responsible for mapping the outcome of the network summing to [1, 0]. In this investigation, we used the sigmoid activation function as the activation function.
The discrepancy between both the output rebuilt data and the original data can be reduced by adjusting the encoder and decoder settings, indicating that AE reassembles the actual data via training. At this point, we believe that the data produced by the hidden layer units is the best low-dimensional approximation of the source data, as it contains all of the information included in the original data. Between H and Y, the reconstruction error function Ye(W, θ) uses the mean squared error (MSE) function as specified in formula 4, where N is the number of samples input. The autoencoder was used for feature selection to select the significant feature from the two datasets, then the selected features are then passed into DNN. As a result of the slow performance of DNN, we then use the PSO with the modification of inertia weight to optimize the parameters of DNN.
3.3. Particle swarm optimization
PSO is an evolutionary and optimization technique inspired by nature that is used to address computationally difficult optimization problems (Derhab, 2019). PSO is a robust technique inspired by swarm behavior and intelligence (Lahasan and Samma, 2022). It was created by James Kennedy and Russ Eberhart in 1995. PSO is a computer method for optimizing problems by iteratively attempting to improve candidate solutions in terms of a specified quality metric (Zhang and Zhang, 2022). A particle is a candidate solution, and the search space is improved by shifting the particles around. The velocity and position of each particle are prejudiced by its best-known position, which is updated in each iteration by better positions discovered by other particles (Ferrag and Maglaras, 2020). As illustrated in Figure 5, the modified PSO schema consumes fewer resources than the conventional optimization approach. It is capable of searching for enormous spaces of possible solutions (Ferrag et al., 2019a). Because it does not rely on the gradient of the issue to be optimized, as do traditional optimization methods, the problem doesn't need to be differentiable (Aslahi-Shahri et al., 2016).
The PSO is an evolutionary classifier founded on the predatory behavior of birds (Kevric et al., 2017). As a result, identifying food for birds can be comparable to determining the optimal particle solution. There are two parameters in every particle: a position variable indicated by = [, , ,…, Xjud] and a velocity parameter indicated by = [, ,…, ]. Throughout the iteration, each particle's velocity and location update formulas are as follows:
where indicates the d-th constituent of the speed of the u-th fragment in the j + 1 repetition, indicates the d-th constituent of the speed of the u-th particle in the j repetition, pbestud indicates the local optimal location of the i-th particle in the present iteration, gbestd indicates the global best location of all particles among the populace, w indicates the weight of inertia, j means the present iteration, e1 and e2 are acceleration coefficients referred to as social and cognitive characteristics, correspondingly, n1 and n2 are consecutive random numbers dispersed consistently throughout the range [0,1], indicates the d-th constituent of the location of the u-th fragment in the j+1 repetition, indicates the d-th element of the u-th particle's velocity in the j repetition.
4. Proposed HAEMPSO-DNN model
The HAEMPSO algorithm is used in this research to enhance the parameter framework of a one-dimensional DNN and to determine the suitable hyperparameters, avoiding the high labor cost associated with physically changing the parameters used to discover the detection process appropriate for the network attack scenario. To begin, every layer of the one-dimensional DNN's parameters is formed of particle position parameters. Additionally, the position parameters' components for each dimension are initialized. Tables 2, 3 illustrate the parameter setting range for particle swarms.
Here, e1- n-filter is the kernel number in the E1 layer, E1-length-filter is the filter length in the E1 layer, E1-act is the activation function found in the E1 band, E1-F2- The probability of nodes remaining functional between the E1 and G2 layers is called dropout, the number of neurons in the G2 layer is denoted by the term “G2 neuron”, G2-act is the activation function type in G2 layer, the number of neurons in the G3 layer is called the G3 neuron, G3-act is the activation function in G3 layer, the batch-size parameter specifies the size of the batch sample of training and rate-of learning is the phase to improve the weights oppositely.
4.1. Deep neural network
A DNN is a collection of multilayer perceptron's (MLPs) with a layer count >3. MLPs are a type of FFANN that are referred through the n layers that comprise them and benefit one another, as illustrated in Figure 6. The layer Yϵ [1, Z] of a DNN is described by DY (ay, αy, ny). ay ϵ Z is the neurons number in the layer. Say is the transformation affine describe through the matrix WY and the vector cm.nm : Say → Say is the function transfer of the layer Y.
The matrix Wy is referred to the matrix weight between the Y – 1 layer and layer Y. The vector cy is referred to as the vector bias of the Y layer. Figure 6 and Table 4 (Liu et al., 2017) reveal DNN located on MLP.
5. Results and discussion
The hyperparameter setting of the DNN is given in Table 5 in terms of the learning rate, batch size, layers number, training epochs, input units, dropout, hidden layer units, activation, and the optimizer.
5.1. Experimentation
For the experiments, we employed two new real-world traffic databases, specifically the UNSW-NB15 data (Moustafa and Slay, 2016), and the Bot-IoT data (Shafiq et al., 2021). The statistics on threats in the Train and Testing sets in both datasets are summarized in Tables 6, 7. The experiment is carried out on Google Colaboratory using TensorFlow and the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).
The process of constructing the training/testing sets from the UNSW-NB15 data set is illustrated in Table 6; a portion of the data set entries has been separated into training/testing sets at a ratio of around 60%:40%. To ensure the validity of NIDS evaluations, there should be no duplicate entries in the training/test sets.
Table 7 depicts the distribution of attacks that is available in the BoT-IoT dataset. The category of attacks is stated in the first column, and attack types in the second column, with the training size and testing size for each of the attack types.
5.2. Performance evaluation
We evaluate key performance parameters such as detection rate (DR), and accuracy (ACC). Table 8 illustrates the four probable classification errors.
Where FN, TN, TP, FP, and FN mean false negative, TN means true negative, TP denotes true positive, FP connotes false positive, and TN denotes true negative, respectively.
5.3. Results

Table 9. Performance of the DNN model relative to the different attack types and benign in terms of DR, accuracy, and training time on the BoT-IoT dataset.
The performance of the DNN model against benign and different types of attacks is shown in Table 10 using the UNSW-NB15 dataset. It demonstrates that the proposed HAEPSO-DNN on Benign achieved a DR of 99.7%, an accuracy of 99.9%, and a training time of 70 ms. The DoS gave a DR of 98.3%, an accuracy of 98.5%, and a training time of 92.6%. Backdoor had a detection rate of 97.14%, an accuracy of 97.65%, and a training time of 67 s.

5.4. Comparison with the machine learning model
We compare our suggested DNN technique with traditional ML classifiers. As shown in Figure 8, we employed a 10-fold cross-validation (CV) technique to test the efficiency of the RF, LR, KNN, and DNN model. As can be seen from the data, KNN has an accuracy of 86.11, 93.02% for RF, 83.12% for the LR model, and 97.41% for the DNN classifier on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The LR classification algorithm does not work well since its performance is dependent on the feature design of the raw data. While RF produces higher accuracy than a linear model since it can learn more through the bagging of several decision trees, it is unable to extract deep information from the training data. As a result, the DNN model defeats it.
5.5. Comparison with the existing DL models
As seen in Table 11, we compared the performance of our proposed model in this section with the recent work (Chohra et al., 2022; Ravi et al., 2022). Ravi et al. (2022) proposed a DL model for attack detection in CPS. The simulation findings gave an accuracy of 99%, precision of 99%, recall of 99%, and f1-score of 99%. However, Ravi et al. (2022) did not pay attention to DR which is an important metric in IDS. Also, Ravi et al. (2022) considered the problem as a multi-class classification problem. Chohra et al. (2022) adopted PSO for feature selection and used an ensemble model for classification. The experiment was performed on the UNSW-NB15 dataset. The findings gave an accuracy of 89.52% on a binary classification problem. In our proposed model, our model gave an accuracy of 99.9%, DR of 99%, and training time of 66 s. Additionally, our model addressed the problem as a multi-class problem that outperformed the multi-class problem of Ravi et al. (2022), and binary problem as suggested by Chohra et al. (2022) in terms of accuracy and DR.
6. Threats to validity
This study utilized two public datasets from distinct sources that are suitable for an IoT setting to evaluate the performance of the suggested solution. Due to the use of open-source assessment and classification tools, the results cannot be generalized to closed-source techniques or proprietary data, which may result in performance variation.
Also, 10-fold cross-validation was used as validation to eliminate bias in the proposed work. Other validation methods (such as K-fold or five-fold) may not yield the same results. Different splits rate can also result in varied performances.
7. Conclusion and future work
This research proposes a new HAEPSO-DNN algorithm and successfully applies it to the detection of multiple types of intrusions in IoT networks. However, the inertia weight component is adaptively modified in response to the fitness value to avoid PSO entering the local extremum problem and obtaining the appropriate DNN overall parameters. The experimental analysis was performed on two realistic UNSW-NB15 and BoT-IoT datasets that are well suited for the IoT ecosystem as against outdated datasets used in previous research. Additionally, the suggested approach reduces communication overhead and eliminates the necessity for a foreign key, which is essential for IoT network security encryption solutions. Our findings indicate that the proposed technique delivers greater accuracy, with DR indicating a more robust detection performance. Based on experimental findings from network and testbed simulations, we can conclude that implementing the proposed HAEPSO-DNN algorithms for successful NIDS in the IoT ecosystem is both practicable and feasible. The infrastructure can be organized in such a way that it detects threats in the IoT ecosystem as a unit including healthcare devices and smart homes. The future study will involve experimenting with more DL models for noticing IoT network intrusions, including CNN, LSTM, and recurrent neural networks.
