Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technology that has significantly impacted
computer engineering, computer science, and our daily lives. It enhances various aspects of our world,
making life better for many, including ourselves, by contributing to areas such as nutrition, healthcare,
and lifestyle. Moreover, IoT plays a crucial role in supporting those in need, such as patients requiring
continuous monitoring and care. However, alongside these advancements comes a major challenge:
security. In this review, the authors will explore traditional security methods in IoT and discuss how
they can be enhanced using artificial intelligence (AI) to address most of threats effectively.

Introduction
Internet of things has grown in recent years in rapidly estimated to be 41 billion IOT device in
2025. The field of IOT is playing more role in life style, health care, industrial field and more fields
with this is becoming more and more greater there’s a more concern about security especially security
because of sensitive and personal data this field of IOT collects. The traditional way to secure these
devices is no longer enough so a new techniques in AI have been evolved to enhanced the security of
this field of IOT.
The Authors will start discuss what is this field by discussing the term, the category and layers
then discuss the traditional way to secure the IOT then AI role in enhancing the security of IOT.

Internet of Things

IOT security and machine learning fusion for intrusion detection

system (IDS):
Most used datasets used for training the machine learning algorithm

The authors choose the NSL-KDD dataset as it is a widely-used dataset for evaluating network
intrusion detection systems (NIDS). It was created to address some of the inherent problems in the
older KDD Cup 99 dataset, such as the presence of redundant records that could bias machine learning
models. Choosing a good model may be challenging to accurately classify cyber dangers given the
potential for irrelevant data in today’s IoT security datasets. If you use this kind of security model to
make predictions, you could run into problems including high processing costs.
Features: The dataset contains 41 features (attributes) that describe different aspects of network
connections, such as duration, protocol type, and flag status. This dataset detects many intrusion types
It includes 22 different types of intrusion attacks, such as Denial of Service (DoS) and much more
