Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network that connects various hardware, software, data storage, and applications. These interconnected devices provide services to businesses and can potentially serve as entry points for cyber-attacks. The privacy of IoT devices is increasingly vulnerable, particularly to threats like viruses and illegal software distribution lead to the theft of critical information. Ant Colony-Optimized Artificial Neural-Adaptive Tensorflow (ACO-ANT) technique is proposed to detect malicious software illicitly disseminated through the IoT. To emphasize the significance of each token in source duplicate data, the noise data undergoes processing using tokenization and weighted attribute techniques. Deep learning (DL) methods are then employed to identify source code duplication. Also the Multi-Objective Recurrent Neural Network (M-RNN) is used to identify suspicious activities within an IoT environment. The performance of proposed technique is examined using Loss, accuracy, F measure, precision to identify its efficiency. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that the proposed method ACO-ANT on Malimg dataset provides 12.35%, 14.75%, 11.84% higher precision and 10.95%, 15.78%, 13.89% higher f-measure compared to the existing methods. Further, leveraging block chain for malware detection is a promising direction for future research the fact that could enhance the security of IoT and identify malware threats.
