The proliferation and variety of Internet of Things devices means that they have increasingly become a viable target for malicious users. This has created a need for anomaly detection algorithms that can work across multiple devices. This thesis suggests a potential alternative to the current anomaly detection algorithms to be implemented within IoT systems that can be applied across different types of devices. This algorithm is comprised of both unsupverised and supervised machine areas of machine learning combining the strongest facet of each. The algorithm involves the initial k-means clustering of attacks and assigns them to clusters. Next, the clusters are then used by the AdaBoosted Naive Bayes supervised learning algorithm in order to teach itself which piece of data should be clustered to which specific attack. This increases the accuracy of the proposed algorithm by adding clustered data before the final classification step, ensuring a more accurate algorithm. The correct indentification percentage scores for this proposed algorithm range anywhere from 90% to 100%, as well as rating the proposed algorithms accuracy, precision and recall. These high scores achieve an accurate, flexible, scalable, optimised algorithm that could potentially be in different IoT devices, ensuring strong data integrity and privacy., Comment: 43 pages, 40 tables
