Enhancing Trust Management Using Locally Weighted Salp Swarm Algorithm with Deep learning for SIoT Networks

Abstract

The Trust-Aware Aggregation Authentication Protocol for SIoT Networks is a security process intended for SIoT platforms. It concentrates on ensuring the reliability of communication and data aggregation between interrelated IoT devices. This protocol deploys authentication systems for verifying the identities of devices and integrates trust-aware mechanisms to estimate the trustworthiness of data exchanged from the social environment of SIoT. By establishing a trustworthy and secure communication structure, this protocol improves the entire integrity and security of SIoT networks, addressing potential vulnerabilities connected with social communications between IoT devices. Therefore, this study develops an enhanced Trust Management using Locally Weighted Salp Swarm Algorithm with Deep learning (ETM-LWSSADL) technique for SIoT Networks. The ETM-LWSSADL technique computes direct and indirect trust values and is assessed depending upon different weighing factors for maximizing the application performance and creating a secure data transmission process. During authentication process, when the SIoT device with total trust value (TTV)is not greater than the threshold value (THV) or authentication token is invalid, the gateways then disregard the node. Besides, bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) model is applied to generate a THV on collected traffic data. Moreover, the ETM-LWSSADL technique exploits the LWSSA technique for optimum hyper parameter selection of the BiGRU algorithm. To highlight the enhanced performance of the ETM-LWSSADL methodology, an extensive range of simulations can be involved.
