Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in heavy industry are a combination of closely integrated physical processes, networking, and scientific computing. The physical production process is monitored and controlled by the CPS in question, through advanced real-time networking systems, where high-precision feedback loops can be changed when the overgrid of cooperative computing and communication components that make up the industrial process is required. These CPS operate independently but integrate interaction capabilities as well as with the external environment, creating the connection of the physical with the digital world. The outline is that the most effective modeling and development of high-reliability CPS are directly related to the maximization of the production process, extroversion, and industrial competition. In this paper, considering the high importance of the operational status of CPS for heavy industry, an innovative autonomous anomaly detection system based on unsupervised disentangled representation learning is presented. It is a temporal disentangled variational autoencoder (TDVA) which, mimicking the process of rapid human intuition, using high- or low-dimensional reasoning, finds and models the useful information independently, regardless of the given problem. Specifically, taking samples from the real data distribution representation space, separating them appropriately, and encoding them as separate disentangling dimensions create new examples that the system has not yet dealt with. In this way, first, it utilizes information from potentially inconsistent sources to learn the right representations that can then be broken down into subspace subcategories for easier and simpler categorization, and second, utilizing the latent representation of the model, it performs high-precision estimates of how similar or dissimilar the inputs are to each other, thus recognizing, with great precision and in a fully automated way, the system anomalies.

We present a hybrid internal anomaly detection system that shares detection tasks between router and nodes. It allows nodes to react instinctively against the anomaly node by enforcing temporary communication ban on it. Each node monitors its own neighbors and if abnormal behavior is detected, the node blocks the packets of the anomaly node at link layer and reports the incident to its parent node. A novel RPL control message, Distress Propagation Object (DPO), is formulated and used for reporting the anomaly and network activities to the parent node and subsequently to the router. The system has configurable profile settings and is able to learn and differentiate between the nodes normal and suspicious activities without a need for prior knowledge. It has different subsystems and operation phases that are distributed in both the nodes and router, which act on data link and network layers. The system uses network fingerprinting to be aware of changes in network topology and approximate threat locations without any assistance from a positioning subsystem. The developed system was evaluated using test-bed consisting of Zolertia nodes and in-house developed PandaBoard based gateway as well as emulation environment of Cooja. The evaluation revealed that the system has low energy consumption overhead and fast response. The system occupies 3.3 KB of ROM and 0.86 KB of RAM for its operations. Security analysis confirms nodes reaction against abnormal nodes and successful detection of packet flooding, selective forwarding, and clone attacks. The system’s false positive rate evaluation demonstrates that the proposed system exhibited 5% to 10% lower false positive rate compared to simple detection system.

Network anomaly detection has been focused on by more people with the fast development of computer network. Some researchers utilized fusion method and DS evidence theory to do network anomaly detection but with low performance, and they did not consider features of network—complicated and varied. To achieve high detection rate, we present a novel network anomaly detection system with optimized Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (ODS) and regression basic probability assignment (RBPA) function. In this model, we add weights for each senor to optimize DS evidence theory according to its previous predict accuracy. And RBPA employs sensor’s regression ability to address complex network. By four kinds of experiments, we find that our novel network anomaly detection model has a better detection rate, and RBPA as well as ODS optimization methods can improve system performance significantly.
