Abstract

Consumer Electronic Devices have become an open network model because of the infusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other communication technologies such as 5G/6G. Though these devices have provided the high-end sophistication even to common person, but it has proved its darker side by triggering more security breaches and privacy problems. Hence, securing and authenticating these Internet enabled consumer devices has become a probable issue to be solved for safer and secured communication. Therefore, this paper presents a novel fusion of Web 3.0-based Blockchain (WBC) and Deep learning (DL) technique for securing consumer electronic devices in an IoT ecosystem. The proposed framework k(MTD-BCAM) is devised into two components: Multiple-Threat Detection(MTD) and Access Management Mechanism(AMM). In the first component, a DL model is applied for threat detection, whereas WBC is meant for an efficient authentication process. Furthermore, a novel residual fast-gated recurrent neural network is proposed. To reduce the complexity, the komodo Mlipir optimization (KMO) approach is used to tune the hyper-parameters of the network. The comprehensive experimental outcome study of the proposed approach employs NSL-KDD datasets in which the distinct metrics of both DL and Blockchain (BC) are measured and analyzed. Results demonstrated the superior accuracy of the model by achieving 99.78% with less computational time and higher transaction speed. Additionally, the statistical validation and security strength of the model are also analyzed and examined with the varied state-of-art models.
