Abstract

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) play a crucial role in securing Internet of Things (IoT) networks, which are increasingly exposed to sophisticated cyber threats. This paper presents an adaptive, reconstruction-based IDS leveraging multiple class-specific Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoders (LSTM-AEs), each trained on a single traffic class (Normal, DDoS-HTTP, DDoS-TCP, DDoS-ICMP). Unlike conventional anomaly detection that models only normal traffic, our approach performs multi-class classification by comparing reconstruction errors across all class-specific models. Evaluated on the Edge-IIoTset dataset, the method achieved a macro-averaged F1-score of 0.9963, underscoring the suitability of LSTM-AE architectures for fine-grained, threat-specific detection in realistic IoT environments.
