| Resumo: | A typical Software-Defined Vehicular Network (SDVN) is open to various cyberattacks because of its centralized controller-based framework. A cyberattack, such as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, can easily overload the central SDVN controller. Thus, we require a functional DDoS attack recognition system that can differentiate malicious traffic from normal data traffic. The proposed architecture comprises hybrid Classical-Quantum Machine Learning (QML) methods for detecting DDoS threats. In this work, we have considered three different QML methods, such as Classical-Quantum Neural Networks (C-QNN), Classical-Quantum Boltzmann Machines (C-QBM), and Classical-Quantum K-Means Clustering (C-QKM). Emulations were conducted using a custom-built vehicular network with random movements and varying speeds between 0 and 100 kmph. Also, the performance of these QML methods was analyzed for two different datasets. The results obtained show that the hybrid Classical-Quantum Neural Network (C-QNN) method exhibited better performance in comparison with the other two models. The proposed hybrid C-QNN model achieved an accuracy of 99% and 90% for the UNB-CIC-DDoS dataset and Kaggle DDoS dataset, respectively. The hybrid C-QNN model combines PennyLane’s quantum circuits with traditional methods, whereas the Classical-Quantum Boltzmann Machine (C-QBM) leverages quantum probability distributions for identifying anomalies. |
