A Real-Time Intrusion Detection System for Enhancing Cybersecurity in Robotic Systems Narinder Verma, Neerendra Kumar Recent Advances in Computer Science and Communications, 2026 Background: The increasing integration of robotic systems across various sectors has highlighted the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard these systems against cyber threats. Objective: This research presents a novel Real-Time Intrusion Detection System (IDS) framework specifically designed to enhance the cybersecurity of robotic systems. Methods: The proposed IDS framework monitors network traffic and continuously identifies potential threats in real time. A testbed is set up using an AlphaBot robotic device and a server machine to perform experiments under both normal and attack conditions. Network traffic data is captured in real-time using tools like Wireshark, generating raw datasets from actual data exchanges between the robotic device and the server. The dataset undergoes preprocessing, including feature extraction, data cleaning, and normalization. This processed dataset is then used to train machine learning algorithms, such as Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Random Forest, designed to identify patterns distinguishing between normal and malicious activities. Results: The IDS framework is tested on the AlphaBot robotic device and server machine, demonstrating effective results in real-world conditions. The system achieved an accuracy rate of 96.61% in distinguishing between normal and attack traffic, highlighting its robustness and practicality. Conclusion: The proposed real-time IDS framework shows promise in enhancing the cybersecurity of robotic systems by effectively identifying potential threats in real time.
A hybrid ensemble framework with particle swarm optimization for network anomaly detection Narinder Verma, Neerendra Kumar, Gourav Kumar, Kuljeet Singh Discover Applied Sciences, 2025 The increasing complexity of cyber threats necessitates the development of a robust and adaptive Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capable of safeguarding network infrastructures. Traditional IDS approaches often struggle to detect sophisticated attacks due to their reliance on predefined patterns. We propose an adaptive particle swarm optimization (PSO)-optimized ensemble learning framework tailored to address these challenges in modern IDS applications. Our approach leverages the NSL-KDD and CICIDS datasets to ensure the IDS is trained and evaluated on data reflecting current network behaviours and threat landscapes. We evaluate multiple machine learning models, including Decision Trees (DT), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Random Forests (RF), and an ensemble of these models for both binary and multi-class classification tasks. By incorporating adaptive mechanisms within the PSO algorithm, our framework dynamically adjusts hyperparameters during optimization, enhancing model robustness and convergence speed. The proposed framework is also benchmarked against state-of-the-art IDS approaches, including ASRL and PSOGSA. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that the ensemble model achieves superior detection accuracy and reduced false positive rates, thereby advancing the efficacy of intrusion detection methodologies.
A novel 3-D image encryption algorithm based on SHA-256 and chaos theory Deep Singh, Harpreet Kaur, Chaman Verma, Neerendra Kumar, Zoltán Illés Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2025 The security of 3-D images is an important research problem that has to be resolved. Due to the more complex structure of 3-D images, the encryption of these images is quite different from 1-D and 2-D images. A three-stage novel image encryption technique based on chaotic maps is presented in this paper in which a 3-D image is firstly converted to a similar image format as that of 2-D images before encryption. The initial conditions of the chaotic system are generated by using the SHA-256 function on the coordinate matrix of the plaintext. Initially, a logistic map is utilized to scramble and add random points to the coordinate values of vertices of a 3-D image. The coordinate values are then confused and diffused in the second stage by using three sequences generated through the logistic-dynamic coupled logistic map lattice (LDCML) model. This stage also involves splitting of floating point data into integer and fractional parts. The integer part is diffused whereas the fractional part is scrambled during this process. In the third stage, the confusion is performed by using a tent map among the coordinate points. This process enhances the robustness, integrity, and confidentiality of 3-D images and ensures protection against unauthorized access. The proposed encryption procedure achieves values of correlation close to zero along x,y,z- directions, NPCR of 100%, UACI of 33.37%, and entropy value of 7.9993 which demonstrates its robust security. The time analysis shows that our technique improves efficiency and lowers computational costs by processing data in a lesser time. The security and statistical analysis concludes that the proposed encryption algorithm can withstand various conventional attacks.
Secure Data Sharing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Blockchain Perspective Ajay Kumar, Yashwant Singh, Neerendra Kumar 2025 International Conference on Networks and Cryptology Netcrypt 2025, 2025 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are flying robots controlled remotely and autonomously. UAVs are becoming increasingly popular among industries and governments despite their origins in military purposes. The accelerated development of drone usage has revealed serious security issues with communication, making it vital to guarantee the safety of data exchange among drones. Traditional UAVs are vulnerable because they depend on widely recognized communication methods. Furthermore, UAVs do not offer complete data protection for a number of security-critical jobs, which could lead to serious loss and potentially fatal outcomes. The suggested blockchain-based scheme's primary goal is to assure the system's security in terms of confidentiality, Integrity, and availability so that UAVs can efficiently communicate data with other UAVs. The proposed framework demonstrates that the method mentioned is more effective for safe data sharing in current UAV networks based on blockchain technology. Finally, the shortcomings of blockchain technology for UAVs and future directions are discussed.
Machine Learning for the Cybersecurity of Robotic Cyber-Physical Systems: A Review Narinder Verma, Neerendra Kumar, Zakir Ahmad Sheikh, Neha Koul, Ankit Ashish Procedia Computer Science, 2025 The integration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) in various domains, such as transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing, has enabled efficient and reliable automation of processes. However, the increased connectivity and complexity of robotic cyber-physical systems have also made them vulnerable to various security threats. This paper explores the role of machine learning in enhancing the security of CPS with an emphasis on robotic systems. In this study, the analysis of the CPS architecture, protocols, and vulnerability trends is carried out. The past attacks on CPS devices, vulnerabilities, and threats associated with different components in CPS are also examined. Further, the use of machine learning techniques for intrusion detection, anomaly detection, and vulnerability assessment in robotic and general CPS is discussed. The challenges and limitations of applying machine learning to CPS security and identifying areas for future research are also investigated. The study highlights the potential application of machine learning in addressing security vulnerabilities in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and points out the necessity for additional investigation to establish reliable and efficient machine learning-driven security solutions for CPS.
