Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms in Reduced Dimensional Spaces
Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.6, pp. 69-87, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2024.051196 - 28 August 2024
Abstract This paper investigates the impact of reducing feature-vector dimensionality on the performance of machine learning (ML) models. Dimensionality reduction and feature selection techniques can improve computational efficiency, accuracy, robustness, transparency, and interpretability of ML models. In high-dimensional data, where features outnumber training instances, redundant or irrelevant features introduce noise, hindering model generalization and accuracy. This study explores the effects of dimensionality reduction methods on binary classifier performance using network traffic data for cybersecurity applications. The paper examines how dimensionality reduction techniques influence classifier operation and performance across diverse performance metrics for seven ML models. Four… More >

An Intrusion Detection Method Based on a Universal Gravitation Clustering Algorithm
Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.6, pp. 41-68, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2024.049658 - 04 June 2024
Abstract With the rapid advancement of the Internet, network attack methods are constantly evolving and adapting. To better identify the network attack behavior, a universal gravitation clustering algorithm was proposed by analyzing the dissimilarities and similarities of the clustering algorithms. First, the algorithm designated the cluster set as vacant, with the introduction of a new object. Subsequently, a new cluster based on the given object was constructed. The dissimilarities between it and each existing cluster were calculated using a defined difference measure. The minimum dissimilarity was selected. Through comparing the proposed algorithm with the traditional Back More >

CenterPicker: An Automated Cryo-EM Single-Particle Picking Method Based on Center Point Detection
Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.4, No.2, pp. 65-77, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2022.028065
Abstract Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become one of the mainstream techniques for determining the structures of proteins and macromolecular complexes, with prospects for development and significance. Researchers must select hundreds of thousands of particles from micrographs to acquire the database for single-particle cryo-EM reconstruction. However, existing particle picking methods cannot ensure that the particles are in the center of the bounding box because the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of micrographs is extremely low, thereby directly affecting the efficiency and accuracy of 3D reconstruction. We propose an automated particle-picking method (CenterPicker) based on particle center point detection to… More >

Security Analysis for a VANET Privacy Protection Scheme
Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.4, No.1, pp. 57-64, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2022.028792
Abstract Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a self-organizing wireless sensor network model, which is extensively used in the existing traffic. Due to the openness of wireless channel and the sensitivity of traffic information, data transmission process in VANET is vulnerable to leakage and attack. Authentication of vehicle identity while protecting vehicle privacy information is an advantageous way to improve the security of VANET. We propose a scheme based on fair blind signature and secret sharing algorithm. In this paper, we prove that the scheme is feasible through security analysis. More >

Adaptive Polling Rate for SNMP for Detecting Elusive DDOS
Journal of Cyber Security, Vol.4, No.1, pp. 17-28, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jcs.2022.027524
Abstract Resilient network infrastructure is pivotal for business entities that are growing reliance on the Internet. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDOS) is a common network threat that collectively overwhelms and exhausts network resources using coordinated botnets to interrupt access to network services, devices, and resources. IDS is typically deployed to detect DDOS based on Snort rules. Although being fairly accurate, IDS operates on a compute-intensive packet inspection technique and lacks rapid DDOS detection. Meanwhile, SNMP is a comparably lightweight countermeasure for fast detection. However, this SNMP trigger is often circumvented if the DDOS burst rate is coordinated to… More >
