Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are widely regarded as efficient
tools for securing in-vehicle networks against diverse cyberattacks. However,
since cyberattacks are always evolving, signature-based intrusion detection
systems are no longer adopted. An alternative solution can be the deployment of
deep learning based intrusion detection system which play an important role in
detecting unknown attack patterns in network traffic. Hence, in this paper, we
compare the performance of different unsupervised deep and machine learning
based anomaly detection algorithms, for real-time detection of anomalies on the
Audio Video Transport Protocol (AVTP), an application layer protocol
implemented in the recent Automotive Ethernet based in-vehicle network. The
numerical results, conducted on the recently published "Automotive Ethernet
Intrusion Dataset", show that deep learning models significantly outperfom
other state-of-the art traditional anomaly detection models in machine learning
under different experimental settings.
