| contents | The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has expanded the attack surface, necessitating efficient intrusion detection systems (IDSs) for network protection. This paper presents FLARE, a feature-based lightweight aggregation for robust evaluation of IoT intrusion detection to address the challenges of securing IoT environments through feature aggregation techniques. FLARE utilizes a multilayered processing approach, incorporating session, flow, and time-based sliding-window data aggregation to analyze network behavior and capture vital features from IoT network traffic data. We perform extensive evaluations on IoT data generated from our laboratory experimental setup to assess the effectiveness of the proposed aggregation technique. To classify attacks in IoT IDS, we employ four supervised learning models and two deep learning models. We validate the performance of these models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Our results reveal that incorporating the FLARE aggregation technique as a foundational step in feature engineering, helps lay a structured representation, and enhances the performance of complex end-to-end models, making it a crucial step in IoT IDS pipeline. Our findings highlight the potential of FLARE as a valuable technique to improve performance and reduce computational costs of end-to-end IDS implementations, thereby fostering more robust IoT intrusion detection systems. |
