Abstract

To enhance agricultural processes, smart agriculture combines a variety of devices,
protocols, computing paradigms, and technologies. The cloud, edge computing, big data, and
artificial intelligence all offer tools and solutions for managing, storing, and analyzing the vast
amounts of data produced by various parts. Smart agriculture is still in its infancy and lacks several
security measures, brought in the creation of numerous networks that are vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The most well-known cyberattack is called a denial of service (DoS) attack, in which the attackers
overwhelm the network with massive amounts of data or requests, preventing the nodes from
accessing the various services that are provided in that network. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
have shown to be effective defense mechanisms in the event of a cyberattack. The implementation
of conventional intrusion detection systems (IDS) approaches in Internet of Things (IoT) devices
was hindered by resource constraints, such as reduced computing capacity and low power
consumption. In this paper, we used an ensemble learning and statistical based feature selection
strategy to create a lightweight intrusion detection solution. The results show that the stacking
ensemble method is able to improve the performance of single machine learning in the classification
of anomalous events even though the computation time required is quite large compared to the
computation time of single machine learning
