AI assisted IOT framework for real-time detection and selective tripping to prevent unauthorized electric fence tapping
In rural and agricultural communities, the impacts of electric fence tapping and power theft is a serious issue affecting public safety, energy loss, and grid reliability. Farmers and landowners frequently tap fences directly into live distribution lines for the purpose of keeping animals out, often without awareness of the high-voltage risk these practices pose not only to themselves, animals, and wildlife, but also the electrical equipment itself. These practices not only jeopardize the safety of the electrical equipment but can also result in significant financial loss as well, with estimations throughout some areas serviced by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEBL) ranging from 8 to 9 percent of power loss annually due to widespread nature of these activities. Current methods, such as manual patrolling of distribution networks, feeder load comparison, Voltage/ Current/ watt hours audits, are not effective. To overcome these challenges, we proposed a real-time detection, selective tripping, and AI-assisted IoT framework to prevent unauthorized access of electric fencing. This framework consists of a Residual Current Monitoring (RCM) system to continually detect leakage, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) analysis to validate anomalies, Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) for real-time fault location, and a Smart Relay Control Unit to provide selective tripping to isolate damaged line segments. Our predictive AI model, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), continues to analyze historical and current patterns to distinguish genuine faults from transient disturbances and locate locations at risk. Events detected are provided through a Live Network Intelligence Dashboard providing real-time diagnostic information including grid health, fault location, and automated service alerts. The framework provides uninterrupted service to authorized users and enables a scalable and sustainable proposition of supply and demand for the future smart power distribution network.
A Multi-Protocol, Explainable AI-Based Framework for Real-Time IoT Forensics
The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments in smart homes, healthcare, and industrial environments has introduced significant challenges for cybercrime investigation and digital forensics. IoT networks generate large volumes of heterogeneous and often encrypted traffic over multiple communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi and Zigbee, limiting the effectiveness of traditional post-incident forensic techniques. Due to constrained device storage, a lack of centralized logging, and short-lived network interactions, critical forensic evidence may be lost before it can be preserved. This paper proposes a real-time, AI-enhanced IoT forensic framework designed to improve forensic readiness through continuous edge-based traffic analysis. The proposed framework integrates multi-protocol packet capture, machine learning-based anomaly detection, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) to enable transparent and interpretable forensic decision-making. The system is evaluated using multiple benchmark datasets, including CIC IoT-IDAD 2024, Edge-IIoTset, N-BaIoT, UNSW HomeNet, and ZigBee traffic traces. Several machine learning and deep learning models, such as XGBoost, LightGBM, LSTM, and GRU, are trained and compared using standard evaluation metrics. Experimental results indicate that tree-based models achieve high detection accuracy with low inference latency, making them suitable for real-time deployment on lightweight edge devices. The integration of SHAP and LIME provides feature-level explanations for detection outcomes, enhancing the reliability and interpretability of AI-based forensic evidence.

A Five-Stage Hybrid Cognitive Defense Engine for Ultra-Lightweight Botnet Detection in Resource-Limited IoT Networks
Internet-of-Things (IoT) exposure to cyberattacks mediated by botnets has grown considerably, for which detection methods that are both computationally lightweight and highly accurate are needed. The paper introduces IoT BotSentinel, a highly efficient AI-based system, which utilizes a five-stage hybrid detection algorithm, which is tailored to resource-heavy IoT system restrictive conditions. The algorithm has used: (1) multi resolution packet fingerprints, (2) entropy based anomaly profiling, (3) temporal sequence embedding using compact recurrent filters, (4) attention based feature fusion, and (5) adaptive sparse inference to provide mitigation to threat in real time. Lasting partitionable layers, dynamic quantization, and hierarchical pruning lessen the computation expense without damage to predictive fidelity. IoT BotSentinel shows high precision of 99.7 and strong zero-day generalization as evaluated on multi-source datasets on botnets, such as Mirai and new command-and-control variants. The suggested framework presents a scalable, high-integrity and practical defensive mechanism that can be deployed across heterogeneous IoT networks and which has low latency and memory footprint.

Monitoring mithilfe innovativer Sensorsysteme
Monitoring von Naturgefahren und Bewegungsanalysen im Sport mithilfe innovativer Sensorsysteme: Forscher*innen am Lehrstuhl für Automation und Messtechnik an der Montanuniversität Leoben arbeiten an verteilten und vernetzten Sensorsystemen: Mit dieser Technologie können beispielsweise erste Anzeichen für Rutschungen und Murenabgängen in erosionsgefährdeten, meist ländlichen Bereichen überwacht werden. Durch die Integration von Sensoreinheiten in Schutzbauten wie Steinschlagnetzen lässt sich deren Zustand kontinuierlich überwachen, wodurch frühzeitig vor vermehrten Steinschlagereignissen und Murenabgängen gewarnt werden kann. Die neuartigen Sensor-Systeme können im Sinne des Gefahrenschutzes aber auch in Staumauern, an Brücken oder Gebäuden zur Anwendung kommen. Eine andere Anwendung der entwickelten Technologie ist der Sport: Bewegungssensoren können hier Performance-Daten von Sportlern etwa während des Schwimmens aufzeichnen, analysieren und auswerten.
