Secure and Reliable Intrusion Detection Scheme for Software-Defined Networking Using LFTS-Rnn and PC-JTFOA

In recent times, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained immense popularity among communication networks due to its high network connectivity and security. But, owing to the lack of sufficient security schemes and dynamic access control, conventional techniques could be more efficient. Hence, this paper proposes a secure intrusion detection scheme for SDN utilizing LogishFTS-based Recurrent Neural Networks (LFTS-RNN) and Poisson Clumping Japanese Tree Frog Optimization Algorithm (PC-JTFOA). Initially, by using a username, password, and Signed Access Control (SAC), the registered users log in to the network. The Entropy Makwa-based Digital Signature Algorithm (EMDSA) is utilized to identify the attackers during the login process. Then, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is trained using the historical dataset. The critical features are extracted in IDS; subsequently, by using the PC-JTFOA, the optimal features are selected. Likewise, the selected features are inputted into the LFTS-RNN to recognize the intruders in the application plane. Moreover, the process of data security and load balancing is undergone by the data. Afterward, the balanced data is subjected to IDS to detect the attackers in the control plane. According to experimental outcomes, the proposed technique obtained a higher prominence with an accuracy of 98.35%.
