Description
Summary:<p>HALOGrid is an adaptive edge–cloud malware detection framework for IoT traffic. The approach couples a lightweight LSTM (residual paths, attention, drift-penalty regularization) for low-latency edge inference with a telemetry-driven tuner that performs real-time hyperparameter updates. The tuner employs Augmented Grid Search (AGS): a stage-wise coarse-to-fine exploration with stochastic perturbations, early-stopping of inferior candidates, validation-weighted corrections, and expectation-weighted deployment. A resynchronization controller blends edge and cloud states using divergence- and delay-aware gating; updates are secured via mTLS transport and signed artifacts with rollback. The pipeline integrates preprocessing, drift estimation over multi-metric streams, adaptive learning-rate/regularization adjustment, and A/B deployment safety. Evaluation on CICIoT2023 reports 98.74% accuracy, 1.21% false positive rate, and 12.8,ms mean inference latency on Jetson Nano; energy consumption averages 52.5,mJ/inference. Compared with SGM, HPAI, DFN, ODMS, MIHT, AIMO, IEMS, and DOFD, HALOGrid maintains higher detection fidelity with lower tuning overhead through AGS and secure edge–cloud refinement.</p><h2>Other Information</h2> <p> Published in: International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2025.111327" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2025.111327</a></p>
