Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Broadband wireless sensor networks are one of the most promising technologies, and have very important applications ranging from communication systems to health care and tactical military systems. Although broadband wireless sensor networks (BWSNs) have appealing features (e.g., low installation cost, unattended network operation), due to the lack of a physical line of defense (i.e., there are no gateways or switches to monitor the information flow) the security of such networks is a major concern, especially for applications where confidentiality has prime importance. Therefore, in order to operate BWSNs securely, any kind of intrusions should be detected before attackers can harm the network (i.e., sensor nodes) and/or information destination (i.e., data sink or base station). In this Special Issue, we are inviting contributions on the latest advances and developments of algorithms, schemes, and architectures for intrusion detection systems for broadband wireless sensor networks.

Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Intrusion detection systems in broadband wireless sensor networks.
  • Algorithms for intrusion detection systems for broadband wireless sensor networks.
  • Classifiers for network intrusion detection systems for broadband sensor networks.
  • Denial of service for resource availability for broadband wireless sensor networks.
  • Intrusion detection mechanisms for broadband wireless sensor networks in smart environments.
  • Generating a new intrusion detection datasets and intrusion traffic characterization.
  • Broadband-sensor-network-based intrusion detection datasets.
  • Deep learning for cybersecurity intrusion detection broadband sensor networks.
  • Anonymous channel categorization scheme of edge nodes to detect jamming attacks in broadband sensor networks.
  • Broadband sensor networks using protocol layer trust-based intrusion detection systems.
  • Design of broadband sensor networks with predictable performances.
  • Intruder detection for sinkhole attack in broadband wireless sensor networks.
  • Intrusion detection systems in broadband wireless sensor networks using conditioning generative adversarial network.
  • Machine learning and deep learning methods for intrusion detection systems for broadband sensor networks.
  • Comparative analysis for intrusion detection systems for broadband sensor networks.

Cybersecurity is a critical issue in today’s internet world. Classical security systems, such as firewalls based on signature detection, cannot detect today’s sophisticated zero-day attacks. Machine learning (ML) based solutions are more attractive for their capabilities of detecting anomaly traffic from benign traffic, but to develop an ML-based anomaly detection system, we need meaningful or realistic network datasets to train the detection engine. There are many public network datasets for ML applications. Still, they have limitations, such as the data creation process and the lack of diverse attack scenarios or background traffic. To create a good detection engine, we need a realistic dataset with various attack scenarios and various types of background traffic, such as HTTPs, streaming, and SMTP traffic. In this work, we have developed realistic network data or datasets considering various attack scenarios and diverse background/benign traffic. Furthermore, considering the importance of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, we have compared the performance of detecting anomaly traffic of some classical supervised and our prior developed unsupervised ML algorithms based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) and pseudo auto-encoder (AE) architecture based on the created datasets. The results show that the performance of the CNN-Pseudo-AE is comparable to that of many classical supervised algorithms. Hence, the CNN-Pseudo-AE algorithm is promising in actual implementation.

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have revolutionized modern communication by providing a user-friendly and cost-efficient solution for Internet access and network resources. However, the increasing popularity of WLANs has also led to a rise in security threats, including jamming, flooding attacks, unfair radio channel access, user disconnection from access points, and injection attacks, among others. In this paper, we propose a machine learning algorithm to detect Layer 2 threats in WLANs through network traffic analysis. Our approach uses a deep neural network to identify malicious activity patterns. We detail the dataset used, including data preparation steps, such as preprocessing and division. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution through series of experiments and show that it outperforms other methods in terms of precision. The proposed algorithm can be successfully applied in Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems (WIDS) to enhance the security of WLANs and protect against potential attacks. Full article
