Item Detecting UAV Presence Using Convolution Feature Vectors in Light Gradient Boosting Machine(IEEE, 2022-12) Alladi, Tejasvi; Chamola, VinayThe growing number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications brings with it, a rising number of privacy concerns. The high availability of commercial drones is also increasing the need for strict regulations. As far away as we are from establishing such protocols to ensure that the most basic human right to privacy is not exploited, we are further away from enforcing them. Thus, there is a need for a generalised drone detection system to detect different drones operating in a broad range of Radio Frequencies (RF). Previous attempts to tackle this problem have been made using audio, video, radar, WiFi and RF signals. While all these methods have their own benefits and drawbacks, RF has various characteristics which make them suitable for practical applications on a large scale. In this paper, we propose a novel technique called the ConvLGBM model which combines the feature extraction capability of a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) with the high classification accuracy of the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM). We develop and evaluate the classifications done by an optimal CNN and the LightGBM model and then compare both models with the ConvLGBM.Item A deep learning based misbehavior classification scheme for intrusion detection in cooperative intelligent transportation systems(Elsevier, 2022-07) Alladi, Tejasvi; Chamola, VinayWith the rise of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and the number of connected vehicles increasing on the roads, Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITSs) have become an important area of research. As the number of Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Interface (V2I) communication links increases, the amount of data received and processed in the network also increases. In addition, networking interfaces need to be made more secure for which existing cryptography-based security schemes may not be sufficient. Thus, there is a need to augment them with intelligent network intrusion detection techniques. Some machine learning-based intrusion detection and anomaly detection techniques for vehicular networks have been proposed in recent times. However, given the expected large network size, there is a necessity for extensive data processing for use in such anomaly detection methods. Deep learning solutions are lucrative options as they remove the necessity for feature selection. Therefore, with the amount of vehicular network traffic increasing at an unprecedented rate in the C-ITS scenario, the need for deep learning-based techniques is all the more heightened. This work presents three deep learning-based misbehavior classification schemes for intrusion detection in IoV networks using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The proposed Deep Learning Classification Engines (DCLE) comprise of single or multi-step classification done by deep learning models that are deployed on the vehicular edge servers. Vehicular data received by the Road Side Units (RSUs) is pre-processed and forwarded to the edge server for classifications following the three classification schemes proposed in this paper. The proposed classifiers identify 18 different vehicular behavior types, the F1-scores ranging from 95.58% to 96.75%, much higher than the existing works. By running the classifiers on testbeds emulating edge servers, the prediction performance and prediction time comparison of the proposed scheme is compared with those of the existing studies.Item Deep Neural Networks for Securing IoT Enabled Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks(IEEE, 2021) Alladi, Tejasvi; Chamola, VinayVehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) security has been an active area of research over the past decade. However, with the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in VANETs, the number of connected vehicles is set to grow exponentially over the next few years, which translates to a higher number of communication interfaces and a greater possibility of cybersecurity attacks. Along with these cybersecurity attacks, the instances of compromised vehicles sending faulty information about their positions and speeds also increase exponentially. Thus, there is a need to augment the existing security schemes with anomaly detection schemes which can differentiate normal vehicle data from malicious and faulty data. Since, the number of anomaly types can be many, deep neural networks would work best in this scenario. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network-based vehicle anomaly detection scheme. We use a sequence reconstruction approach to differentiate normal vehicle data from anomalous data. Numerical results show that we can correctly detect data corresponding to several anomaly types.Item Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Empowered Intrusion Detection Architecture for the Internet of Vehicles(IEEE, 2021-06) Alladi, Tejasvi; Chamola, VinayRecent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and the adoption of IoT in vehicular networks have led to a new and promising paradigm called the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, the mode of communication in IoV being wireless in nature poses serious cybersecurity challenges. With many vehicles being connected in the IoV network, the vehicular data is set to explode. Traditional intrusion detection techniques may not be suitable in these scenarios with an extremely large amount of vehicular data being generated at an unprecedented rate and with various types of cybersecurity attacks being launched. Thus, there is a need for the development of advanced intrusion detection techniques capable of handling possible cyberattacks in these networks. Toward this end, we present an artificial intelligence (AI)-based intrusion detection architecture comprising Deep Learning Engines (DLEs) for identification and classification of the vehicular traffic in the IoV networks into potential cyberattack types. Also, taking into consideration the mobility of the vehicles and the realtime requirements of the IoV networks, these DLEs will be deployed on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) servers instead of running on the remote cloud. Extensive experimental results using popular evaluation metrics and average prediction time on a MEC testbed demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.Item Securing the Internet of Vehicles: A Deep Learning-Based Classification Framework(IEEE, 2021-06) Alladi, Tejasvi; Chamola, VinayAlong with the various technological advancements, the next generation vehicular networks such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) also bring in various cybersecurity challenges. To effectively address these challenges, in addition to the existing authentication techniques, there is also a need for identification of the misbehaving entities in the network. This letter proposes a deep learning-based classification framework to identify potential misbehaving vehicles before the communication requests from the On Board Units (OBUs) of the vehicles can be entertained by the network infrastructure such as the Road Side Units (RSUs). The evaluated metrics demonstrate the performance of the proposed classification approaches.
