Feature Selection Techniques

The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used broadly for securing the network. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are typically positioned laterally through former protecting safety automation, like access control and verification, as a subsequent line of resistance that guards data classifications. Feature selection is employed to diminish the number of features in various applications where data has more than hundreds of attributes. Essential or relevant attribute recognition has converted a vital job to utilize data mining algorithms efficiently in today world situations. This article describes the comparative study on the Information Gain, Gain Ratio, Symmetrical Uncertainty, Chi-Square analysis feature selection techniques with different Classification methods like Artificial Neural Network, Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine.

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is the powerful latest trend that allows communications and networking of many sources over the internet. Routing protocol for low power and lossy networks (RPL) based IoT networks may be exposed to many routing attacks due to resource-constrained and open nature of the IoT nodes. Hence, there is a need for network intrusion detection system (NIDS) to protect RPL based IoT networks from routing attacks. The existing techniques for anomaly-based NIDS (ANIDS) subjects to high false alarm rate (FAR). Therefore, a novel bio-inspired voting ensemble classifier with feature selection technique is proposed in this paper to improve the performance of ANIDS for RPL based IoT networks. The proposed voting ensemble classifier combines the results of various base classifiers such as logistic Regression, support vector machine, decision tree, bidirectional long short-term memory and K-nearest neighbor to detect the attacks accurately based on majority voting rule. The optimized weights of base classifiers are obtained by using the feature selection method called simulated annealing based improved salp swarm algorithm (SA-ISSA), which is the hybridization of particle swarm optimization, opposition based learning and salp swarm algorithm. The experiments are performed with RPL-NIDDS17 dataset that contains seven types of attack instances. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated and compared with existing feature selection and classification techniques in terms of accuracy, attack detection rate (ADR), FAR and so on. The proposed ensemble classifier shows better performance with higher accuracy (96.4%), ADR (97.7%) and reduced FAR (3.6%).

Hybrid Kernel

Feature selection is a process of identifying relevant feature subset that leads to the machine learning algorithm in a well-defined manner. In this paper, anovel ensemble feature selection approach that comprises of Relief  Attribute Evaluation and hybrid kernel-based support vector machine (HK-SVM) approach is proposed as a feature selection method for network intrusion detection system (NIDS). A Hybrid approach along with the combination of Gaussian and Polynomial methods is used as a kernel for support vector machine (SVM). The key issue is to select a feature subset that yields good accuracy at a minimal computational cost. The proposed approach is implemented and compared with classical SVM and simple kernel. Kyoto2006+, a bench mark intrusion detection dataset,is used for experimental evaluation and then observations are drawn.

Network intrusions detection is a continuous vigilant task and to efficiently analyze the traffic in the corporate network to detect network intrusions. The efficiency of the Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) performance can be improved by adopting feature selection or reduction process to suit the present day high speed real time networks. This work is focused on identifying the key features of the audit dataset used to build an efficient light-weight NIDS. The NSL KDD dataset is used in this work titled Attribute Richness Based Feature Selection (ARFS) in order to analyze its performance.The obtained results are compared with the Correlation-based Feature Selection (CFS) and Information Gain (IG) feature selection methods. The proposed feature selection method produced better detection rate comparatively.

Abstract In modern times the firewall and antivirus packages are not good enough to protect the organization from numerous cyber attacks. Computer IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a crucial aspect that contributes to the success of an organization. IDS is a software application responsible for scanning organization networks for suspicious activities and policy rupturing. IDS ensures the secure and reliable functioning of the network within an organization. IDS underwent huge transformations since its origin to cope up with the advancing computer crimes. The primary motive of IDS has been to augment the competence of detecting the attacks without endangering the performance of the network. The research paper elaborates on different types and different functions performed by the IDS. The NSL KDD dataset has been considered for training and testing. The seven prominent classifiers LR (Logistic Regression), NB (Naïve Bayes), DT (Decision Tree), AB (AdaBoost), RF (Random Forest), kNN (k Nearest Neighbor), and SVM (Support Vector Machine) have been studied along with their pros and cons and the feature selection have been imposed to enhance the reading of performance evaluation parameters (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1Score). The paper elaborates a detailed flowchart and algorithm depicting the procedure to perform feature selection using XGB (Extreme Gradient Booster) for four categories of attacks: DoS (Denial of Service), Probe, R2L (Remote to Local Attack), and U2R (User to Root Attack). The selected features have been ranked as per their occurrence. The implementation have been conducted at five different ratios of 60-40%, 70-30%, 90-10%, 50-50%, and 80-20%. Different classifiers scored best for different performance evaluation parameters at different ratios. NB scored with the best Accuracy and Recall values. DT and RF consistently performed with high accuracy. NB, SVM, and kNN achieved good F1Score.

Operational Issues

Intrusion detection system plays an important role in network security. However, network intrusion detection (NID) suffers from several problems, such as false positives, operational issues in high dimensional data, and the difficulty of detecting unknown threats. Most of the problems with intrusion detection are caused by improper implementation of the network intrusion detection system (NIDS). Over the past few years, computational intelligence (CI) has become an effective area in extending research capabilities. Thus, NIDS based upon CI is currently attracting considerable interest from the research community. The scope of this review will encompass the concept of NID and presents the core methods of CI, including support vector machine, hidden naïve Bayes, particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and fuzzy logic. The findings of this review should provide useful insights into the application of different CI methods for NIDS over the literature, allowing to clearly define existing research challenges and progress, and to highlight promising new research directions.
