Popis: The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the security of IoT devices in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments against Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks in smart homes using Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods as part of an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) framework. This framework aims to authenticate communication parties, ensure overall system and network security within SDN environments, and foster trust among users and stakeholders. The experimental analysis focuses on machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms, particularly those employed in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), such as Naive Bayes (NB), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Random Forest (RF), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). The CNN algorithm demonstrates exceptional performance on the training dataset, achieving 99.96% accuracy with minimal training time. It also shows favorable results in terms of detection speed, requiring only 1 s, and maintains a low False Alarm Rate (FAR) of 0.02%. Subsequently, the proposed framework was deployed in a testbed SDN environment to evaluate its detection capabilities across diverse network topologies, showcasing its efficiency compared to existing approaches.
