• Abstract: This paper presents the detection of DDoS attacks in IoT networks using machine learning models. Their rapid growth has made them highly susceptible to various forms of cyberattacks, many of whose security procedures are implemented in an irregular manner. It evaluates the efficacy of different machine learning models, such as XGBoost, K-Nearest Neighbours, Stochastic Gradient Descent, and Na\"ive Bayes, in detecting DDoS attacks from normal network traffic. Each model has been explained on several performance metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to understand the suitability of each model in real-time detection and response against DDoS threats. This comparative analysis will, therefore, enumerate the unique strengths and weaknesses of each model with respect to the IoT environments that are dynamic and hence moving in nature. The effectiveness of these models is analyzed, showing how machine learning can greatly enhance IoT security frameworks, offering adaptive, efficient, and reliable DDoS detection capabilities. These findings have shown the potential of machine learning in addressing the pressing need for robust IoT security solutions that can mitigate modern cyber threats and assure network integrity.

  This work aims to develop secure distributed algorithms to protect the learning from data poisoning and network attacks. We establish a game-theoretic framework to capture the conflicting goals of a learner who uses distributed support vector machines (SVMs) and an attacker who is capable of modifying training data and labels. The numerical results show that distributed SVM is prone to fail in different types of attacks, and their impact has a strong dependence on the network structure and attack capabilities.
