Background: Due to the advanced improvement in internet and network technologies, significant number of intrusions and attacks takes place. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is employed to prevent distinct attacks. Several machine learning approaches has been presented for the classification of IDS. But, IDS suffer from the curse of dimensionality that results to increased complexity and decreased resource exploitation. Consequently, it becomes necessary that significant features of data must be investigated by the use of IDS for reducing the dimensionality. Aim: In this article, a new feature selection (FS) based classification system is presented which carries out the FS and classification processes. Methods: Here, the binary variants of the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm called BGOA is applied as a FS model. The significant features are integrated using an effective model to extract the useful ones and discard the useless features. The chosen features are given to the feed forward neural network (FFNN) model to train and test the KDD99 dataset. Results: The validation of the presented model takes place using a benchmark KDD Cup 1999 dataset. By the inclusion of FS process, the classifier results gets increased by attaining FPR of 0.43, FNR of 0.45, sensitivity of 99.55, specificity of 99.57, accuracy of 99.56, Fscore of 99.59 and kappa value of 99.11. Conclusion: The experimental outcome ensured the superior performance of the presented model compared to diverse models under several aspects and is found to be an appropriate tool for detecting intrusions.

BP neural network is a multilayer feed-forward neural network, it achieved from input to output arbitrary nonlinear mapping, and weights are adjusted by using the back propagation learning algorithm. Intrusion detection systems using the learning ability of neural network to extract the network data profile, and it also can use the neural network has the ability of self-learning and parallel processing ability, through the construction of intelligent neural network classifier to identify abnormal, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting intrusion behavior. The paper proposes the development of intrusion detection system based on improved BP neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high efficiency.


At present times, Cloud Computing (CC) becomes more familiar in several domains such as education, media, industries, government, and so on. On the other hand, uploading sensitive data to public cloud storage services involves diverse security issues, specifically integrity, availability and confidentiality to organizations/companies. Besides, the open and distributed (decentralized) structure of the cloud is highly prone to cyber attackers and intruders. Therefore, it is needed to design an intrusion detection system (IDS) for cloud environment to achieve high detection rate with low false alarm rate. The proposed model involves a binary grasshopper optimization algorithm with mutation (BGOA-M) as a feature selector to choose the optimal features. For classification, improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) based NN model, called IPSO-NN has been derived. The significance of the IPSO-NN model is assessed using a set of two benchmark IDS dataset. The experimental results stated that the IPSO-NN model has achieved maximum accuracy values of 99.36% and 97.80% on the applied NSL-KDD 2015 and CICIDS 2017 dataset. The obtained experimental outcome clearly pointed out the extraordinary detection performance of the IPSO-NN model over the compared methods.

Nowadays, IoT has been widely used in different applications to improve the quality of life. However, the IoT becomes increasingly an ideal target for unauthorized attacks due to its large number of objects, openness, and distributed nature. Therefore, to maintain the security of IoT systems, there is a need for an efficient Intrusion Detection System (IDS). IDS implements detectors that continuously monitor the network traffic. There are various IDs methods proposed in the literature for IoT security. However, the existing methods had the disadvantages in terms of detection accuracy and time overhead. To enhance the IDS detection accuracy and reduces the required time, this paper proposes a hybrid IDS system where a pre-processing phase is utilized to reduce the required time and feature selection as well as the classification is done in a separate stage. The feature selection process is done by using the Enhanced Shuffled Frog Leaping (ESFL) algorithm and the selected features are classified using Light Convolutional Neural Network with Gated Recurrent Neural Network (LCNN-GRNN) algorithm. This two-stage method is compared to up-to-date methods used for intrusion detection and it over performs them in terms of accuracy and running time due to the light processing required by the proposed method.


In the advent of the cyber world, all know that cyber security is randomly used research area for researchers to secure host, network, and data because of increasingly complex attacks. In the advent of anomaly-based intrusion detection system, various techniques are applied to detect intrusion on system or network. This approach attains an extreme detection rate and accuracy but there may be overhead acquired to build and training them. The objective of this paper is to detect the intrusion of a system by proposing a Data mining technique which is based on supervised learning algorithm for training dataset. Artificial neural network (ANN) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) with feature selection are the basics of the proposed scheme. ACO work on a population-based algorithm and is motivated by the pheromone trail laying behavior of real ants, in which NSL-KDD Cup99 Dataset is used. Empirical Results clearly explain that the proposed system can attain an overall detection rate of 88% and time complexity of 0.343 sec, which is satisfactory when compared to other anomaly-based schemes.


There is a tremendous growth in the area of information technology due to which, network defence is also facing major challenges. The conventional Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is not able to prevent the recent attacks and malwares. Hence, IDS which is an essential component of the network needs to be protected. Data mining introduce to the process of separate hidden, previously unknown and useful information from huge databases. Data Mining based Intrusion Detection System is combined with Multi-Agent System to improve the presentation of the IDS. We combine the classifiers which is the widespread approach, to increase the accuracy of a single classifier. For experimentation purpose, we use a benchmark intrusion detection dataset, which is KDDCup’99 and the accuracy of the classifiers were estimated using 10-fold cross validation method. In this work, we use the feature selection methods, namely Flexible mutual information based feature selection (FMIFS) and hybrid feature selection algorithm (HFS) to evaluate the importance of features. This work provides Support Vector Machine (SVM), Nave Bayes (NB) and Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) to classify attack and normal threads as well as to improve the accuracy we ensemble all classifier into single hybrid classifier using Bagging algorithm. The proposed hybrid approach achieves an accuracy rate of 95.11
