Item Restricted ADAPTIVE INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM FOR THE INTERNET OF MEDICAL THINGS (IOMT): ENHANCING SECURITY THROUGH IMPROVED MUTUAL INFORMATION FEATURE SELECTION AND META-LEARNING(Towson University, 2024-12) Alalhareth, Mousa; Hong, SungchulThe Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionized healthcare by enabling continuous patient monitoring and diagnostics but also introduces significant cybersecurity risks. IoMT devices are vulnerable to cyber-attacks that threaten patient data and safety. To address these challenges, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) using machine learning algorithms have been introduced. However, the high data dimensionality in IoMT environments often leads to overfitting and reduced detection accuracy. This dissertation presents several methodologies to enhance IDS performance in IoMT. First, the Logistic Redundancy Coefficient Gradual Upweighting Mutual Information Feature Selection (LRGU-MIFS) method is introduced to balance the trade-off between relevance and redundancy, while improving redundancy estimation in cases of data sparsity. This method achieves 95% accuracy, surpassing the 92% reported in related studies. Second, a fuzzy-based self-tuning Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) IDS model is proposed, which dynamically adjusts training epochs and uses early stopping to prevent overfitting and underfitting. This model achieves 97% accuracy, a 10% false positive rate, and a 94% detection rate, outperforming prior models that reported 95% accuracy, a 12% false positive rate, and a 93% detection rate. Finally, a performance-driven meta-learning technique for ensemble learning is introduced. This technique dynamically adjusts classifier voting weights based on factors such as accuracy, loss, and prediction confidence levels. As a result, this method achieves 98% accuracy, a 97% detection rate, and a 99% F1 score, while reducing the false positive rate to 10%, surpassing previous results of 97% accuracy, a 93% detection rate, a 97% F1 score, and an 11% false positive rate. These contributions significantly enhance IDS effectiveness in IoMT, providing stronger protection for sensitive medical data and improving the security and reliability of healthcare networks.8 0
