Abstract Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are essential in the field of cybersecurity because they protect networks from a wide range of online threats. The goal of this research is to meet the urgent need for small-footprint, highly-adaptable Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) that can identify anomalies. The NSL-KDD dataset is used in the study; it is a sizable collection comprising 43 variables with the label’s “attack” and “level.” It proposes a novel approach to intrusion detection based on the combination of channel attention and convolutional neural networks (CNN). Furthermore, this dataset makes it easier to conduct… More >

Abstract Recently, automotive intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have emerged as promising defense approaches to counter attacks on in-vehicle networks (IVNs). However, the effectiveness of IDSs relies heavily on the quality of the datasets used for training and evaluation. Despite the availability of several datasets for automotive IDSs, there has been a lack of comprehensive analysis focusing on assessing these datasets. This paper aims to address the need for dataset assessment in the context of automotive IDSs. It proposes qualitative and quantitative metrics that are independent of specific automotive IDSs, to evaluate the quality of datasets. These… More >

Abstract The exponential growth of Internet and network usage has necessitated heightened security measures to protect against data and network breaches. Intrusions, executed through network packets, pose a significant challenge for firewalls to detect and prevent due to the similarity between legitimate and intrusion traffic. The vast network traffic volume also complicates most network monitoring systems and algorithms. Several intrusion detection methods have been proposed, with machine learning techniques regarded as promising for dealing with these incidents. This study presents an Intrusion Detection System Based on Stacking Ensemble Learning base (Random Forest, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest-Neighbors). More >

Abstract Intrusion detection involves identifying unauthorized network activity and recognizing whether the data constitute an abnormal network transmission. Recent research has focused on using semi-supervised learning mechanisms to identify abnormal network traffic to deal with labeled and unlabeled data in the industry. However, real-time training and classifying network traffic pose challenges, as they can lead to the degradation of the overall dataset and difficulties preventing attacks. Additionally, existing semi-supervised learning research might need to analyze the experimental results comprehensively. This paper proposes XA-GANomaly, a novel technique for explainable adaptive semi-supervised learning using GANomaly, an image anomalous… More >

Abstract The demand for cybersecurity is rising recently due to the rapid improvement of network technologies. As a primary defense mechanism, an intrusion detection system (IDS) was anticipated to adapt and secure computing infrastructures from the constantly evolving, sophisticated threat landscape. Recently, various deep learning methods have been put forth; however, these methods struggle to recognize all forms of assaults, especially infrequent attacks, because of network traffic imbalances and a shortage of aberrant traffic samples for model training. This work introduces deep learning (DL) based Attention based Nested U-Net (ANU-Net) for intrusion detection to address these… More >

Abstract The integration of clusters, grids, clouds, edges and other computing platforms result in contemporary technology of jungle computing. This novel technique has the aptitude to tackle high performance computation systems and it manages the usage of all computing platforms at a time. Federated learning is a collaborative machine learning approach without centralized training data. The proposed system effectively detects the intrusion attack without human intervention and subsequently detects anomalous deviations in device communication behavior, potentially caused by malicious adversaries and it can emerge with new and unknown attacks. The main objective is to learn overall… More >

Abstract Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are one of the most promising ways for securing data and networks; In recent decades, IDS has used a variety of categorization algorithms. These classifiers, on the other hand, do not work effectively unless they are combined with additional algorithms that can alter the classifier’s parameters or select the optimal sub-set of features for the problem. Optimizers are used in tandem with classifiers to increase the stability and with efficiency of the classifiers in detecting invasion. These algorithms, on the other hand, have a number of limitations, particularly when used to… More >

Abstract The number of attacks is growing tremendously in tandem with the growth of internet technologies. As a result, protecting the private data from prying eyes has become a critical and tough undertaking. Many intrusion detection solutions have been offered by researchers in order to decrease the effect of these attacks. For attack detection, the prior system has created an SMSRPF (Stacking Model Significant Rule Power Factor) classifier. To provide creative instance detection, the SMSRPF combines the detection of trained classifiers such as DT (Decision Tree) and RF (Random Forest). Nevertheless, it does not generate any… More >

Abstract Due to polymorphic nature of malware attack, a signature-based analysis is no longer sufficient to solve polymorphic and stealth nature of malware attacks. On the other hand, state-of-the-art methods like deep learning require labelled dataset as a target to train a supervised model. This is unlikely to be the case in production network as the dataset is unstructured and has no label. Hence an unsupervised learning is recommended. Behavioral study is one of the techniques to elicit traffic pattern. However, studies have shown that existing behavioral intrusion detection model had a few issues which had… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are commonly used to observe and monitor precise environments. WSNs consist of a large number of inexpensive sensor nodes that have been separated and distributed in different environments. The base station received the amount of data collected by the numerous sensors. The current developments designate that the attentFgion in applications of WSNs has been increased and extended to a very large scale.
