LightEnsemble-Guard An Optimized Ensemble Learning Framework for Securing Resource-Constrained IoT Systems

Project Code :TCMAPY1769

Objective

LightEnsemble-Guard is to develop an optimized ensemble learning framework designed to bolster the security of resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) systems. With IoT devices increasingly integrated into critical infrastructures, ensuring their security is crucial but challenging due to the limited computational resources available. The framework employs a combination of lightweight machine learning models within an ensemble structure to deliver highly accurate and efficient threat detection, while keeping computational demands low. By leveraging a mix of base models, including decision trees, random forests, and XGBoost classifiers, LightEnsemble-Guard addresses common IoT security concerns such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, malware, and unauthorized access. The system uses an optimized stacking method to enhance detection accuracy and reduce complexity, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments. Additionally, advanced data preprocessing ensures that noisy IoT data is properly handled, facilitating real-time threat detection. This solution aims to empower IoT systems with scalable, reliable, and performance-efficient security capabilities, thereby enhancing their resilience in critical applications.

Abstract

Light Ensemble-Guard is an optimized ensemble learning framework designed to enhance the security of resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) systems. With the rapid growth of IoT devices and their integration into critical infrastructure, ensuring their security has become increasingly challenging due to limited computational resources. This framework leverages a combination of lightweight machine learning models in an ensemble structure to deliver accurate and efficient threat detection while minimizing the computational footprint. By incorporating multiple base models, including decision trees, random forests, and XGBoost classifiers, LightEnsemble-Guard offers superior detection accuracy for various IoT security threats, such as DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, malware, and unauthorized access. The framework uses an optimized stacking method to enhance prediction accuracy and reduce model complexity, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments. Furthermore, it incorporates advanced data preprocessing techniques to handle noisy IoT data and ensures real-time detection capabilities. The evaluation of LightEnsemble-Guard across multiple attack scenarios demonstrates its robustness and efficiency, providing a scalable solution for IoT security. This research aims to empower IoT systems with advanced security features without compromising performance, ensuring safe and reliable operation of IoT devices in critical sectors.
