The scope of the research is anomalies detection in network traffic caused by the distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack which so far has mainly been investigated in terms of detection of illegitimate DDoS traffic generated by conventional terminal devices (PCs, laptops, mobile devices, tablets, servers). Technological development has resulted in the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, whose implementation implies numerous terminal devices with a low level of implemented protection. The large growth and prediction of future growth are recorded in the environment of a smart home. IoT devices in a smart home (SHIoT) are increasingly being used as a platform for generating DDoS traffic due to its numeracy and low level of protection. The aim of the doctoral thesis is to develop a model for
detecting DDoS traffic generated by SHIoT devices. The developed model will be based on SHIoT device classes and specific features of generated traffic.
