An innovative framework to securely transfer data through the Internet of Things using advanced generative adversarial networks

The Internet of Things (IoT) is developing so quickly that cloud-centric computing finds it challenging to keep up with the demands of usability and low latency. Edge computing unifies computing, networking, storage and applications into a distributed open system. At the edge of the IoT, it provides intelligent services. The edge network is made up of several wired and wireless networks, and edge nodes have constrained amounts of memory and processing power. The edge network is vulnerable to several types of cyberattacks because of these factors. Large-scale network data gathering and detection for IoT security is also challenging for an IoT edge node to provide. Data analytics for intrusion detection guarantees high accuracy of intrusion detection systems (IDSs), but the implementation of such algorithms on IoT might be a challenge due to the limited resources on edge nodes. Inspired in part by these challenges, we suggest a sophisticated IDS based on a generative adversarial network (GAN). This article suggests a novel method for detecting intrusions in the IoTs networks that make use of Colony Predator Algorithm (CPA) for optimization of the detection process. Through the use of GANs to create real-looking data samples, the suggested technique helps to have reliable anomaly and intrusion detection. The integration improves the training process, making it more efficient and enabling the CPA system to better differentiate between benign and malicious activities, which exponentially raises the system's efficiency.
