Towards a Novel Intrusion Detection Architecture using Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology for potential replacement of human tasks and activities within industrial, social, intellectual, and digital applications. Network intrusion detection is crucial to identify cyber-attacks in critical infrastructures where a dynamic collection and analysis of network traffic can be conducted using AI. In this research paper we develop a novel intrusion detection architecture to mitigate malicious traffic passing through cyber infrastructure of an organization. We propose to design scenarios based on AI for intelligent self-protection or alert system that will facilitate countering actual cyber-attacks. The system will utilize machine learning algorithm - Random Forest - to offer more flexibility to discover new attacks and to ensure training the system to predict them in the future. Moreover, we design spam filtering program on python to detect spam emails as per email is one of the main attacking vectors that threatens the security of critical infrastructures
Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms for Intrusion Detection System
Intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the implemented solutions against
harmful attacks. Furthermore, attackers always keep changing their tools and
techniques. However, implementing an accepted IDS system is also a challenging
task. In this paper, several experiments have been performed and evaluated to
assess various machine learning classifiers based on KDD intrusion dataset. It
succeeded to compute several performance metrics in order to evaluate the
selected classifiers. The focus was on false negative and false positive
performance metrics in order to enhance the detection rate of the intrusion
detection system. The implemented experiments demonstrated that the decision
table classifier achieved the lowest value of false negative while the random
forest classifier has achieved the highest average accuracy rate
TSE-IDS: A Two-Stage Classifier Ensemble for Intelligent Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection System
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) play a pivotal role in computer security by discovering and repealing malicious activities in computer networks. Anomaly-based IDS, in particular, rely on classification models trained using historical data to discover such malicious activities. In this paper, an improved IDS based on hybrid feature selection and two-level classifier ensembles is proposed. An hybrid feature selection technique comprising three methods, i.e. particle swarm optimization, ant colony algorithm, and genetic algorithm, is utilized to reduce the feature size of the training datasets (NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 are considered in this paper). Features are selected based on the classification performance of a reduced error pruning tree (REPT) classifier. Then, a two-level classifier ensembles based on two meta learners, i.e., rotation forest and bagging, is proposed. On the NSL-KDD dataset, the proposed classifier shows 85.8% accuracy, 86.8% sensitivity, and 88.0% detection rate, which remarkably outperform other classification techniques recently proposed in the literature. Results regarding the UNSW-NB15 dataset also improve the ones achieved by several state of the art techniques. Finally, to verify the results, a two-step statistical significance test is conducted. This is not usually considered by IDS research thus far and, therefore, adds value to the experimental results achieved by the proposed classifier
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
