Towards a Reliable Comparison and Evaluation of Network Intrusion Detection Systems Based on Machine Learning Approaches
Presently, we are living in a hyper-connected world where millions of heterogeneous devices are continuously sharing information in different application contexts for wellness, improving communications, digital businesses, etc. However, the bigger the number of devices and connections are, the higher the risk of security threats in this scenario. To counteract against malicious behaviours and preserve essential security services, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are the most widely used defence line in communications networks. Nevertheless, there is no standard methodology to evaluate and fairly compare NIDSs. Most of the proposals elude mentioning crucial steps regarding NIDSs validation that make their comparison hard or even impossible. This work firstly includes a comprehensive study of recent NIDSs based on machine learning approaches, concluding that almost all of them do not accomplish with what authors of this paper consider mandatory steps for a reliable comparison and evaluation of NIDSs. Secondly, a structured methodology is proposed and assessed on the UGR'16 dataset to test its suitability for addressing network attack detection problems. The guideline and steps recommended will definitively help the research community to fairly assess NIDSs, although the definitive framework is not a trivial task and, therefore, some extra effort should still be made to improve its understandability and usability further
Tree-based Intelligent Intrusion Detection System in Internet of Vehicles
The use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is a promising technology in Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITSs) to improve safety and driving efficiency.
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology enables communication among vehicles and
other infrastructures. However, AVs and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) are
vulnerable to different types of cyber-attacks such as denial of service,
spoofing, and sniffing attacks. In this paper, an intelligent intrusion
detection system (IDS) is proposed based on tree-structure machine learning
models. The results from the implementation of the proposed intrusion detection
system on standard data sets indicate that the system has the ability to
identify various cyber-attacks in the AV networks. Furthermore, the proposed
ensemble learning and feature selection approaches enable the proposed system
to achieve high detection rate and low computational cost simultaneously.Comment: Accepted in IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) 201
Unsupervised Body Part Regression via Spatially Self-ordering Convolutional Neural Networks
Automatic body part recognition for CT slices can benefit various medical
image applications. Recent deep learning methods demonstrate promising
performance, with the requirement of large amounts of labeled images for
training. The intrinsic structural or superior-inferior slice ordering
information in CT volumes is not fully exploited. In this paper, we propose a
convolutional neural network (CNN) based Unsupervised Body part Regression
(UBR) algorithm to address this problem. A novel unsupervised learning method
and two inter-sample CNN loss functions are presented. Distinct from previous
work, UBR builds a coordinate system for the human body and outputs a
continuous score for each axial slice, representing the normalized position of
the body part in the slice. The training process of UBR resembles a
self-organization process: slice scores are learned from inter-slice
relationships. The training samples are unlabeled CT volumes that are abundant,
thus no extra annotation effort is needed. UBR is simple, fast, and accurate.
Quantitative and qualitative experiments validate its effectiveness. In
addition, we show two applications of UBR in network initialization and anomaly
detection.Comment: Oral presentation in ISBI1
