Securing the Internet of Vehicles: Deep Learning–Driven Intrusion Detection

Описание: Recorded on 27 February, 2026

Speaker: Dr. Haleem Farman

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has laid the foundation for large-scale interconnected digital ecosystems, and its evolution into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is reshaping intelligent transportation and smart mobility infrastructures. As vehicles, roadside units, edge nodes, and cloud platforms continuously exchange data in real time, ensuring secure and reliable communication becomes a critical challenge.

This talk explores advanced security mechanisms for IoV environments, focusing on deep learning–driven intrusion detection in dynamic vehicular networks. Special attention is given to the challenge of missing and incomplete data, which often arises from mobility, intermittent connectivity, and real-time communication constraints. The session introduces a robust framework that integrates real-time missing-data imputation with multi-layer convolutional neural networks to enhance attack detection, along with contextual security analysis techniques to strengthen threat identification.

The presentation highlights how intelligent, data-aware intrusion detection architectures can form a foundational security layer for next-generation vehicular networks and 5G/6G-enabled smart mobility ecosystems.
