ABSTRACT

Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled physical devices and virtual objects to be connected to share data, coordinate, and automatically make smart decisions to server people. Recently, many IoT resource slicing studies that allow managing devices, IoT platforms, network functions, and clouds under a single unified programming interface have been proposed. Although they helped IoT developers to create IoT services more easily, the efforts still have not dealt with the monitoring problem for the slice components. This could cause an issue: thing states could not be tracked continuously, and hence the effectiveness of controlling the IoT components would be decreased significantly because of updated information lack. In this paper, we introduce an information-centric approach for multiple sources monitoring issue in IoT. The proposed model thus is designed to provide generic and extensible data format for diverse IoT objects. Through this model, IoT developers can build smart services smoothly without worrying about the diversity as well as heterogeneity of collected data. We also propose an overall monitoring architecture for the information-centric model to deploy in IoT environment and its monitoring API prototype. This document also presents our experiments and evaluations to prove feasibility of the proposals in practice.

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, in the era of Internet of Things when everything is connected via the Internet, the number of mobile devices has risen exponentially up to billions around the world. In line with this increase, the volume of data generated is enormous and has attracted malefactors who do ill deeds to others. For hackers, one of the popular threads to mobile devices is to spread malware. These actions are very difficult to prevent because the application installation and configuration rights are set by owners, who usually have very low knowledge or do not care about the security. In this study, our aim is to improve security in the environment of mobile devices by proposing a novel system to detect malware intrusions automatically. Our solution is based on modelling user behaviours and applying the heuristic analysis approach to mobile logs generated during the device operation process. Although behaviours of individual users have a significant impact on the social cyber-security, to achieve the user awareness has still remained one of the major challenges today. For this task, there is proposed a light-weight semantic formalization in the form of physical and logical taxonomy for classifying the collected raw log data. Then a set of techniques is used, like sliding windows, lemmatization, feature selection, term weighting, and so on, to process data. Meanwhile, malware detection tasks are performed based on incremental machine learning mechanisms, because of the potential complexity of these tasks. The solution is developed in the manner to allow the scalability with several blocks that cover pre-processing raw collected logs from mobile devices, automatically creating datasets for machine learning methods, using the best selected model for detecting suspicious activity surrounding malware intrusions, and supporting decision making using a predictive risk factor. We experimented cautiously with the proposal and achieved test results confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed system in applying to the large-scale mobile environment.
