An IoT Anomaly Detection Model Based on Artificial Immunity

To resolve the anomaly detection problem in the distributed environment of the Internet of Things (IoT), an artificial immunity-based anomaly detection model for the IoT is proposed in this paper. The proposed model adopts artificial immune mechanisms to recognize anomaly behavior of IoT security threats. It is consisted of Anomaly detection agents (ADA) and Central Service System (CSS). ADA is deployed by the IoT gateway. It collects the initial data of the sense layer of the IoT. It works independently and produces excellent detection elements. It shares its excellent detection elements with the other ones and uploads them to the CSS. Theory analysis shows that the proposed model is able to adapt the local network environment of IoT and improve the anomaly detection ability in the global IoT environment.
