A Lightweight Intelligent Authentication Approach for Intrusion Detection

Internet of things (IoT) offers advanced and intelligent services for our life. However, smart IoT devices also bring various security vulnerabilities. Traditionally, attacks are solved by conventional authentication and authorization schemes, requiring extensive time and computational resources. In addition, it is possible to exploit artificial intelligence (AI) to provide countermeasures while enabling lightweight authentication. In this paper, we explore a solution on modelling a spoofing detection system based on machine learning and we propose a deep learning method using Auto-Extractor/Classifier Neural Network. Our scheme operates on the physical layer without causing computational overhead. Therefore, the lightweight authentication can be achieved and spoofing attacks are well-controlled in IoT scenarios.
