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
Autoencoder with recurrent neural networks for video forgery detection
Video forgery detection is becoming an important issue in recent years,
because modern editing software provide powerful and easy-to-use tools to
manipulate videos. In this paper we propose to perform detection by means of
deep learning, with an architecture based on autoencoders and recurrent neural
networks. A training phase on a few pristine frames allows the autoencoder to
learn an intrinsic model of the source. Then, forged material is singled out as
anomalous, as it does not fit the learned model, and is encoded with a large
reconstruction error. Recursive networks, implemented with the long short-term
memory model, are used to exploit temporal dependencies. Preliminary results on
forged videos show the potential of this approach.Comment: Presented at IS&T Electronic Imaging: Media Watermarking, Security,
