  • AI-driven real-time anomaly detection in industrial cyber-physical systems using hybrid deep learning with SWaT and WADI benchmarks
    Smilarubavathy G, Nidhya R, Pavithra D, V B Thurai Raaj, Keerthana S M
    Franklin Open, 2026
    Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are increasingly exposed to sophisticated cyberattacks, necessitating the development of robust, real-time anomaly detection solutions to maintain system reliability and operational continuity. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning approach that combines CNN, BiLSTM, and an attention mechanism to detect the anomalies in an industrial CPS environments. This architecture uses (a) CNNs to extract spatial features from input data; (b) BiLSTM networks to model temporal sequences; and (c) an attention mechanism included to emphasise the significant trends and enhance the interpretability. The model uses the sliding window inference technique to enable the real-time usage. It also includes an adaptive thresholding method based on statistical estimation. The system is tested on two popular CPSs benchmark datasets: Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) and Water Distribution (WADI), which include 36 labelled attack scenarios and multiple stealthy attack patterns, respectively. Experimental results shows that the proposed model achieves high accuracy (98.7% on SWaT and 97.4% on WADI) and F1-scores above 97.5%, with the inference latency below 50 ms per prediction. Compared with baseline CNN, LSTM, and SVM detectors, the hybrid approach improves precision under noisy and imbalanced conditions, demonstrating superiority in real-time CPS anomaly detection. An ablation study verifies the individual impact of each component in the model. Furthermore, this study presents a theoretical detection-delay bound, and confirming the framework’s suitability for real-time CPS monitoring.

    D. Pavithra, Tarun Prasanth S, Nishore N, Kabinesh S
    Proceedings of 6th International Conference on Iot Based Control Networks and Intelligent Systems Icicnis 2025, 2025
    Using a dual-authentication strategy that combines Wi-Fi-based validation and One-Time Password (OTP) verification, the DA-Router Framework presents an intelligent attendance management system that improves accuracy and stops proxy marking. Time inefficiency, human error, and spoofing are some of the problems with traditional attendance techniques, such as manual and biometric systems. Only students who are physically connected to the classroom’s assigned network (by SSID/BSSID/MAC verification) are able to mark attendance thanks to the suggested framework’s use of router-based device authentication. Simultaneously, identity validation is strengthened by an OTP created by the instructor and validated via a mobile or web interface. Session logs, device information, and attendance analytics are all stored in a centralized database that is updated in real time. A fallback QR mechanism guarantees continuity in the event of Wi-Fi outages. The system offers an administrator dashboard for monitoring attendance statistics, student performance, and connectivity history. The DA-Router Framework advances the automation and integrity of attendance management by enabling a dependable, scalable, and impenetrable solution for contemporary educational institutions by fusing network-layer verification with OTP-based security.

    Generative Artificial Intelligence Concepts and Applications, 2025
    Cyberattacks are constantly evolving, becoming more complex and harder to detect. Hackers develop new exploits, malware, and phishing techniques faster than traditional security measures can adapt. Securing devices, against cyber threats is of importance in the context of the Internet of Things where all things are interconnected. The suggested framework presents a method, for detecting intrusions in networks by utilizing a model that combines recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and deep belief networks (DBNs). The RNNs excel at understanding patterns in sequential data, like network traffic flow in an Internet of Things environment. The DBNs are adept at extracting key features from data. By utilizing these methods, the goal is to create a system that can effectively identify and classify attacks. To assess its effectiveness this combined approach was applied to the UNSW NB15 dataset, which consists of both network traffic and malicious activity from a network. The outcomes show encouraging performance as the model accurately identified nine types of attacks such, as Backdoors, Denial of Service (DoS) Analysis, Exploits, Generic Threats, Reconnaissance activities, Fuzzers, for Abnormal Activity Shellcode Exploits, and Worms.

    Addressing the ever-expanding landscape of online content consumption, this study introduces a groundbreaking approach to real-time sentiment analysis and comment categorization on platforms such as YouTube. Given the remarkable rate of video uploads, with a new video posted every minute globally, and an impressive daily consumption of content reaching one billion hours, the manual analysis of user-generated content has become impractical. The proposed system leverages long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNNs), specifically a stack of three LSTM layers, for effective sentiment analysis, overcoming challenges like vanishing and exploding gradients. In addition to sentiment analysis, the system employs an incremental updation approach for swift comment analysis and storage in the database, ensuring real-time analytics. Taking a step beyond traditional sentiment analysis, the system introduces a novel feature – comment categorization. Comments are not only analyzed for sentiment but are also categorized and stored, providing content creators with a segregated view of user feedback. This innovative approach enables content creators to enhance their videos based on specific comment categories, fostering an environment for improved content creation and audience engagement. In summary, this system represents a significant stride towards revolutionizing online content analysis, offering real-time insights and empowering content creators for a more dynamic and interactive content creation process.
