  Abstract

As the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been rapidly developed, even low-end devices, such as smart light bulbs and sensors, are now able to be remotely operated via the Internet. The growth of the IoT industry leads to emerging open-source platforms, but they have a critical weakness of security vulnerabilities. Such security issue becomes much more important in low-end IoT devices. The conventional anomaly detection approaches could not be the solution in low-end devices because they have limited hardware capabilities, like low specifications of CPU and memory. Therefore, it is important to develop an anomaly detection algorithm with low computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a linear transform-based low-complexity anomaly detection solution that can be operated in low-end devices. Using principal component analysis (PCA), a principal subspace is built from normal datasets. Then, the principal components are obtained by projecting the collected IoT data onto the principal subspace. We further propose a modified Mahalanobis distance which detects anomalies from principal components. In simulation results, it is shown that the proposed solution outperforms existing methods even though it requires lower computational complexity than the others.
