KEYNOTES
Leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) Security via Machine Learning
Professor Albert Levi, Sabancı University, Turkey
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected and uniquely identified objects with computing capabilities. Today, IoT devices are used in many areas of daily life and they are used to develop smart systems. However, the fact that IoT devices are small and portable brings many challenges in terms of security. Since they have limited processing power and scarce resources, security solutions must be lightweight. In this keynote, we will discuss the results of our research aiming to develop a lightweight intrusion detection system which leverages machine learning techniques to detect IoT intrusion attacks. Utilizing the previously trained model stored in an IoT node would help the intrusion detection cost to be minimized. In that way, processing power and memory requirements of the IoT systems will be able to be met. Our study also proposes a way to allow the system to understand the location where the intrusion occurs that would be helpful for further remedies. Moreover, we study multi-attack cases and aim to classify the attack types as well. Due to the lack of attack datasets that serve to our aims in the literature, we utilized Contiki OS Cooja Simulator to generate a new one. Flooding, selective forwarding and sinkhole attacks has been implemented in the simulator to create the attack traffic. The dataset created using different topologies has been finalized after feature selection process. Different multiclass classifier models such as random forests were developed and the results show that our model could detect the type of the traffic with 99% accuracy.

Machine Learning in Cybersecurity: Current Landscape, Challenges and Opportunities
Dr. Rajeev Shorey, TCS Research & Innovation, India; IIT, India
Abstract: Researchers and practitioners today are exploring the applicability of machine learning in almost every area of engineering. Security Engineering and Cybersecurity are no exceptions. In the last few years, we have seen an exponential increase in the number of publications and technical reports from both academia and industry on the effectiveness of AI and machine learning for cybersecurity. In this talk, we address the intersection of two areas of great interest to the technical community — machine learning and cybersecurity. More specifically, we identify and discuss major challenges in applying machine learning in wireless systems such as, for example, vehicular networks and ensuring security of such complex networks. We believe that future Automotive and Autonomous systems such as Smart Vehicles will be greatly impacted by advances in machine learning and cybersecurity.
