Dr Wenjuan Li and her research collaborators from the Aalborg University won the Best Paper Award in the 22nd International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing (ICA3PP) 2022 for their paper "EnergyCIDN: Enhanced Energy-aware Challenge-based Collaborative Intrusion Detection in Internet of Things". ICA3PP is one of the most famous events of the world that covers the many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. Due to the structure, distributed intrusion detection may suffer from the insider threats, where a malicious node can share false information to influence the network performance. Dr Li's research team developed EnergyCIDN, an enhanced challenge-based collaborative intrusion detection network by adopting an energy-aware trust management model against advanced insider attacks. The proposed scheme can measure the reputation of an internal node by considering energy consumption, which is especially effective in an IoT environment. The results demonstrated that the proposed approach can be more robust against advanced insider attacks, compared with similar trust management schemes.
