Resumen

The Internet of Things (IoT) has proliferated, transitioning from modest home automation to encompass sectors like healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing. This evolution is characterized by devices' ability to autonomously gather, disseminate, and analyze data, leading to improved real-time decision-making, predictive insights, and customized user experiences. The ubiquity of IoT, while promising, introduces significant data security concerns. The vast number of interlinked devices and diverse and often insufficient security features make them vulnerable to cyber threats, emphasizing the need for robust security mechanisms. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have traditionally acted as vital guards against such threats; however, with the ever-increasing data in the IoT, traditional IDS models, such as Naive Bayes, face processing speed and accuracy challenges. This paper introduces a novel model, "FE+NB," which merges advanced Feature Extraction (FE) with the Naive Bayes (NB) classifier. Central to this model is the "Temporal-Structural Synthesis" technique tailored for IoT traffic data, focusing on data compression, temporal and structural analyses, and Feature Selection (FS) using mutual information. Consequently, the model enhances efficiency and accuracy in Intrusion Detection (ID) in complex IoT networks.
