IoT (Internet of Things) usage in industrial and scientific domains is progressively increasing. Currently, IoTs are utilized in
numerous applications in different domains, similar to communication technology, environmental monitoring, agriculture,
medical services, and manufacturing purposes. But, the IoT systems are vulnerable against various intrusions and attacks in the
perspective on the security view. It is essential to create an intrusion detection model to detect and secure the network from
different attacks and anomalies that continually happen in the network. In this paper, the anomaly detection model for an IoT
network using deep neural networks (DNN) with chicken swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm was proposed. Presently, the
DNN has demonstrated its efficiency in different fields that are applicable to its usage. Deep learning is the type of algorithm
based on machine learning which used many layers to gradually extricate more significant features of level from the raw
inputs. The UNSW-NB15 dataset was utilized to evaluate the anomaly detection model. The proposed model obtained 94.85%
accuracy and 96.53% detection rate which is better than other compared techniques like GA-NB, GSO, and PSO for validation.
The DNN-CSO model has performed well in detecting most of the attacks, and it is appropriate for detecting anomalies in the
IoT network.
1. Introduction
Recently, IoT has acquired the interest of academic groups and
of the ICT (information and communication technology)
industry. IoT systems take on a number of facets of our daily
lives, including health care, home environments, and trans-
portation. Threats to IoT protection can cause serious privacy
problems and economic damage [1]. IoT’s development
comes along with the emergence of numerous challenges.
Any of these problems also arise as exceptions to the network
anomalies, i.e., abnormal network traffic flow. A flash crowd,
network failure, or variations in the network traffic may pro-
duce anomalies in terms of results, while attacks like probing
and flooding attacks can also cause anomalies when it comes
to security, attacks like Remote to Local (R2L) and User to
Root (U2R) attacks [2].
Anomalies may be related to performance or security-
related. Anomaly identification is an extremely important task
for network operators in both situations. In particular, net-
work operators needs an efficient method for quickly identify-
ing abnormal unknown trends in traffic data to recognize
irregular flows of traffic or the reasons of further handling
anomalies [3]. In the sense of the IoT, a general description
of an anomaly is the observable effects of an unpredicted
