Trust-Awareness to Secure Swarm Intelligence from Data Injection Attack
This addresses a security problem for industrial IoT systems using swarm intelligence, but appears incremental as it builds on existing trust methods.
The paper tackles the vulnerability of swarm intelligence in industrial IoT to data injection attacks by proposing an efficient trust approach, aiming to secure its practical deployment.
Enabled by the emerging industrial agent (IA) technology, swarm intelligence (SI) is envisaged to play an important role in future industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that is shaped by Sixth Generation (6G) mobile communications and digital twin (DT). However, its fragility against data injection attack may halt it from practical deployment. In this paper we propose an efficient trust approach to address this security concern for SI.
