Research and Improvement of Encrypted Traffic Classification Based on Convolutional Neural Network

To secure cloud computing and outsourced data while meeting the requirements of automation, many intrusion detection schemes based on deep learn ing are proposed. Though the detection rate of many network intrusion detection solutions can be quite high nowadays, their identification accuracy on imbalanced abnormal network traffic still remains low. Therefore, this paper proposes a ResNet &Inception-based convolutional neural network (RICNN) model to abnormal traffic classification. RICNN can learn more traffic features through the Inception unit, and the degradation problem of the network is eliminated through the direct map ping unit of ResNet, thus the improvement of the model?s generalization ability can be achievable. In addition, to simplify the network, an improved version of RICNN, which makes it possible to reduce the number of parameters that need to be learnt without degrading identification accuracy, is also proposed in this paper. The experimental results on the dataset CICIDS2017 show that RICNN not only achieves an overall accuracy of 99.386% but also has a high detection rate across different categories, especially for small samples. The comparison experiments show that the recognition rate of RICNN outperforms a variety of CNN models and RNN models, and the best detection accuracy can be achieved.

With the rapid popularization of robots, the risks brought by robot communication have also attracted the attention of researchers. Because current traffic classification methods based on plaintext cannot classify encrypted traffic, other methods based on statistical analysis require manual extraction of features. This paper proposes (i) a traffic classification framework based on a capsule neural network. This method has a multilayer neural network that can automatically learn the characteristics of the data stream. It uses capsule vectors instead of a single scalar input to effectively classify encrypted network traffic. (ii) For different network structures, a classification network structure combining convolution neural network and long short-term memory network is proposed. This structure has the characteristics of learning network traffic time and space characteristics. Experimental results show that the network model can classify encrypted traffic and does not require manual feature extraction. And on the basis of the previous tool, the recognition accuracy rate has increased by 8%
