由于网络流量特征和特征分布随环境差异显著,跨域入侵检测仍是关键挑战。本研究评估了三种广泛使用的基于流的特征集(Argus、Zeek、CICFlowMeter)在四个代表异构物联网与工业物联网网络条件的数据集上的可迁移性。通过大量实验,考察了多种分类模型在同域与跨域场景下的性能表现,并利用SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)分析特征重要性。结果表明,于某域训练的模型在另一目标域上应用时性能显著下降,反映出物联网入侵检测系统对分布偏移的高度敏感性。此外,分类算法与特征表示的选择显著影响迁移效果。除报告性能差异并深入分析特征与特征空间的可迁移性外,本文还提供了提升领域变异下鲁棒性的特征工程实践指南。研究指出,有效的入侵检测需兼顾高同域性能与跨域适应性,可通过精心设计特征空间、合理选择算法及采用自适应策略实现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-domain intrusion detection remains a critical challenge due to significant variability in network traffic characteristics and feature distributions across environments. This study evaluates the transferability of three widely used flow-based feature sets (Argus, Zeek and CICFlowMeter) across four widely used datasets representing heterogeneous IoT and Industrial IoT network conditions. Through extensive experiments, we evaluate in- and cross-domain performance across multiple classification models and analyze feature importance using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Our results show that models trained on one domain suffer significant performance degradation when applied to a different target domain, reflecting the sensitivity of IoT intrusion detection systems to distribution shifts. Furthermore, the results evidence that the choice of classification algorithm and feature representations significantly impact transferability. Beyond reporting performance differences and thorough analysis of the transferability of features and feature spaces, we provide practical guidelines for feature engineering to improve robustness under domain variability. Our findings suggest that effective intrusion detection requires both high in-domain performance and resilience to cross-domain variability, achievable through careful feature space design, appropriate algorithm selection and adaptive strategies.
