Benfriha, Sihem, Labraoui, Nabila.  2022.  Insiders Detection in the Uncertain IoD using Fuzzy Logic. 2022 International Arab Conference on Information Technology (ACIT). :1—6.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and various network entities deployed on the ground can communicate with each other over the Internet of Drones (IoD), a network architecture designed expressly to allow communications between heterogenous entities. Drone technology has a wide range of uses, including on-demand package delivery, traffic and wild life surveillance, inspection of infrastructure and search, rescue and agriculture. However, IoD systems are vulnerable to numerous attacks, The main goal is to develop an all-encompassing security model that can be used to analyze security concerns in various UAV-based systems. With exceptional flexibility and increasing efficiency, trust management is a promising alternative to traditional detection methods. In a heterogeneous environment, it is also compatible with other security mechanisms. In this article, we present a fuzzy logic as an Insider Detection technique which calculate sensor data trust and assessing node behavior. To build confidence throughout the entire IoD, our proposal divides trust into two parts: Data trust and Node trust. This is in contrast to earlier models. Experimental results show that our solution is effective in terms of False positive ratio and Average of end-to-end delay.

This paper describes an approach to detecting malicious code introduced by insiders, which can compromise the data integrity in a program. The approach identifies security spots in a program, which are either malicious code or benign code. Malicious code is detected by reviewing each security spot to determine whether it is malicious or benign. The integrity breach conditions (IBCs) for object-oriented programs are specified to identify security spots in the programs. The IBCs are specified by means of the concepts of coupling within an object or between objects. A prototype tool is developed to validate the approach with a case study.

With the rapidly increasing connectivity in cyberspace, Insider Threat is becoming a huge concern. Insider threat detection from system logs poses a tremendous challenge for human analysts. Analyzing log files of an organization is a key component of an insider threat detection and mitigation program. Emerging machine learning approaches show tremendous potential for performing complex and challenging data analysis tasks that would benefit the next generation of insider threat detection systems. However, with huge sets of heterogeneous data to analyze, applying machine learning techniques effectively and efficiently to such a complex problem is not straightforward. In this paper, we extract a concise set of features from the system logs while trying to prevent loss of meaningful information and providing accurate and actionable intelligence. We investigate two unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms for insider threat detection and draw a comparison between different structures of the system logs including daily dataset and periodically aggregated one. We use the generated anomaly score from the previous cycle as the trust score of each user fed to the next period's model and show its importance and impact in detecting insiders. Furthermore, we consider the psychometric score of users in our model and check its effectiveness in predicting insiders. As far as we know, our model is the first one to take the psychometric score of users into consideration for insider threat detection. Finally, we evaluate our proposed approach on CERT insider threat dataset (v4.2) and show how it outperforms previous approaches.
