Abstract: The development of 5G environments has several advantages, including accelerated data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and improved energy efficiency. Nevertheless, it also increases the risk of severe cybersecurity issues, including a complex and enlarged attack surface, privacy concerns, and security threats to 5G core network functions. A 5G core network DDoS attack detection model is been proposed which utilizes a binary improved non-Bald Eagle optimization algorithm (Sin-Cos-bIAVOA) originally designed for IoT DDoS detection to select effective features for DDoS attacks. This approach employs a novel composite transfer function (Sin-Cos) to enhance exploration. The proposed method’s performance is compared with classical algorithms on the 5G Core PFCP DDoS attacks dataset. After rigorous testing across a spectrum of attack scenarios, the proposed detection model exhibits superior performance compared to traditional DDoS detection algorithms. This is a significant finding, as it suggests that the model achieves a higher degree of detection accuracy, meaning it is better equipped to identify and mitigate DDoS attacks. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of 5G core networks, as it offers a novel solution to the problem of DDoS attack detection for this critical infrastructure.
