Critical Infrastructures (CIs) must be able to quickly detect cyberattacks close to edge devices in order to prevent service interruptions. DL approaches outperform shallow machine learning techniques in attack detection, giving them a viable alternative for use in intrusion detection. However, because of the massive amount of IoT data and the computational requirements for DL models, transmission overheads prevent the successful implementation of DL models closer to the devices. As they were not trained on pertinent IoT, current Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) either use conventional techniques or are not intended for scattered edge\u2013cloud deployment. A new edge\u2013cloud-based IoT IDS is suggested to address these issues. It uses distributed processing to separate the dataset into subsets appropriate to different attack classes and performs attribute selection on time-series IoT data. Next, DL is used to train an attack detection Recurrent Neural Network, which consists of a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The high-dimensional BoT-IoT dataset, which replicates massive amounts of genuine IoT attack traffic, is used to test the proposed model. Despite an 85 percent reduction in dataset size made achievable by attribute selection approaches, the attack detection capability was kept intact. The models built utilizing the smaller dataset demonstrated a higher recall rate (98.25%), F1-measure (99.12%), accuracy (99.56%), and precision (99.45%) with no loss in class discrimination performance compared to models trained on the entire attribute set. With the smaller attribute space, neither the RNN nor the Bi-LSTM models experienced underfitting or overfitting. The proposed DL-based IoT intrusion detection solution has the capability to scale efficiently in the face of large volumes of IoT data, thus making it an ideal candidate for edge\u2013cloud deployment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23249869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]],"date-time":"2023-12-18T11:28:07Z","timestamp":1702898887000},"page":"9869","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Deep Learning-Inspired IoT-IDS Mechanism for Edge Computing Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2504-4387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulaziz","family":"Aldaej","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Engineering and Sciences, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj 11942, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4525-0738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tariq Ahamed","family":"Ahanger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management Information Systems, College of Business Administration (CoBA), Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj 16278, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8188-2601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Imdad","family":"Ullah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Stellios, I., Mokos, K., and Kotzanikolaou, P.
