Abstract In recent years, cybersecurity has attracted significant interest due to the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the widespread development of computer infrastructure and systems. It is thus becoming particularly necessary to identify cyber-attacks or irregularities in the system and develop an efficient intrusion detection framework that is integral to security. Researchers have worked on developing intrusion detection models that depend on machine learning (ML) methods to address these security problems. An intelligent intrusion detection device powered by data can exploit artificial intelligence (AI), and especially ML, techniques. Accordingly, we propose in More >

Abstract A new secured database management system architecture using intrusion detection systems (IDS) is proposed in this paper for organizations with no previous role mapping for users. A simple representation of Structured Query Language queries is proposed to easily permit the use of the worked clustering algorithm. A new clustering algorithm that uses a tube search with adaptive memory is applied to database log files to create users’ profiles. Then, queries issued for each user are checked against the related user profile using a classifier to determine whether or not each query is malicious. The IDS… More >

Abstract In network-based intrusion detection practices, there are more regular instances than intrusion instances. Because there is always a statistical imbalance in the instances, it is difficult to train the intrusion detection system effectively. In this work, we compare intrusion detection performance by increasing the rarely appearing instances rather than by eliminating the frequently appearing duplicate instances. Our technique mitigates the statistical imbalance in these instances. We also carried out an experiment on the training model by increasing the instances, thereby increasing the attack instances step by step up to 13 levels. The experiments included not… More >

Abstract An anomaly-based intrusion detection system (A-IDS) provides a critical aspect in a modern computing infrastructure since new types of attacks can be discovered. It prevalently utilizes several machine learning algorithms (ML) for detecting and classifying network traffic. To date, lots of algorithms have been proposed to improve the detection performance of A-IDS, either using individual or ensemble learners. In particular, ensemble learners have shown remarkable performance over individual learners in many applications, including in cybersecurity domain. However, most existing works still suffer from unsatisfactory results due to improper ensemble design. The aim of this study More >

Abstract Anomaly classification based on network traffic features is an important task to monitor and detect network intrusion attacks. Network-based intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) using machine learning (ML) methods are effective tools for protecting network infrastructures and services from unpredictable and unseen attacks. Among several ML methods, random forest (RF) is a robust method that can be used in ML-based network intrusion detection solutions. However, the minimum number of instances for each split and the number of trees in the forest are two key parameters of RF that can affect classification accuracy. Therefore, optimal parameter selection… More >

Abstract In recent years, machine learning technology has been widely used for timely network attack detection and classification. However, due to the large number of network traffic and the complex and variable nature of malicious attacks, many challenges have arisen in the field of network intrusion detection. Aiming at the problem that massive and high-dimensional data in cloud computing networks will have a negative impact on anomaly detection, this paper proposes a Bi-LSTM method based on attention mechanism, which learns by transmitting IDS data to multiple hidden layers.

Abstract An IDS (intrusion detection system) provides a foremost front line mechanism to guard networks, systems, data, and information. That’s why intrusion detection has grown as an active study area and provides significant contribution to cyber-security techniques. Multiple techniques have been in use but major concern in their implementation is variation in their detection performance. The performance of IDS lies in the accurate detection of attacks, and this accuracy can be raised by improving the recognition rate and significant reduction in the false alarms rate. To overcome this problem many researchers have used different machine learning… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) empower the reflection of the environment with an extraordinary resolve. These systems are combination of several minuscule squat-cost, and stumpy-power on-chip transceiver sensing motes. Characteristically, a sensing device comprises of four key gears: an identifying element for data attainment, a microcontroller for native data dispensation, a message component to permit the broadcast/response of data to/from additional associated hardware, and lastly, a trivial energy source. Near field frequency series and inadequate bandwidth of transceiver device drags to multi-stage data transactions at minimum achievable requirements.
