When adopting cloud computing, cybersecurity needs to be applied to detect and protect against malicious intruders to improve the organization’s capability against cyberattacks. Having network intrusion detection with zero false alarm is a challenge. This is due to the asymmetry between informative features and irrelevant and redundant features of the dataset. In this work, a novel machine learning based hybrid intrusion detection system is proposed. It combined support vector machine (SVM) and genetic algorithm (GA) methodologies with an innovative fitness function developed to evaluate system accuracy. This system was examined using the CICIDS2017 dataset, which contains normal and most up-to-date common attacks. Both algorithms, GA and SVM, were executed in parallel to achieve two optimal objectives simultaneously: obtaining the best subset of features with maximum accuracy. In this scenario, an SVM was employed using different values of hyperparameters of the kernel function, gamma, and degree. The results were benchmarked with KDD CUP 99 and NSL-KDD. The results showed that the proposed model remarkably outperformed these benchmarks by up to 5.74%. This system will be effective in cloud computing, as it is expected to provide a high level of symmetry between information security and detection of attacks and malicious intrusion.
In a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system, the successive interference cancellation (SIC) procedure is typically employed at the receiver side, where several user’s signals are decoded in a subsequent manner. Fading channels may disperse the transmitted signal and originate dependencies among its samples, which may affect the channel estimation procedure and consequently affect the SIC process and signal detection accuracy. In this work, the impact of Deep Neural Network (DNN) in explicitly estimating the channel coefficients for each user in NOMA cell is investigated in both Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. The proposed approach integrates the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network into the NOMA system where this LSTM network is utilized to predict the channel coefficients. DNN is trained using different channel statistics and then utilized to predict the desired channel parameters that will be exploited by the receiver to retrieve the original data. Furthermore, this work examines how the channel estimation based on Deep Learning (DL) and power optimization scheme are jointly utilized for multiuser (MU) recognition in downlink Power Domain Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (PD-NOMA) system. Power factors are optimized with a view to maximize the sum rate of the users on the basis of entire power transmitted and Quality of service (QoS) constraints. An investigation for the optimization problem is given where Lagrange function and Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions are applied to deduce the optimum power coefficients. Simulation results for different metrics, such as bit error rate (BER), sum rate, outage probability and individual user capacity, have proved the superiority of the proposed DL-based channel estimation over conventional NOMA approach. Additionally, the performance of optimized power scheme and fixed power scheme are evaluated when DL-based channel estimation is implemented.
As cyber-attacks become remarkably sophisticated, effective Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) are needed to monitor computer resources and to provide alerts regarding unusual or suspicious behavior. Despite using several machine learning (ML) and data mining methods to achieve high effectiveness, these systems have not proven ideal. Current intrusion detection algorithms suffer from high dimensionality, redundancy, meaningless data, high error rate, false alarm rate, and false-negative rate. This paper proposes a novel Ensemble Learning (EL) algorithm-based network IDS model. The efficient feature selection is attained via a hybrid of Correlation Feature Selection coupled with Forest Panelized Attributes (CFS–FPA). The improved intrusion detection involves exploiting AdaBoosting and bagging ensemble learning algorithms to modify four classifiers: Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, and K-Nearest Neighbor. These four enhanced classifiers have been applied first as AdaBoosting and then as bagging, using the aggregation technique through the voting average technique. To provide better benchmarking, both binary and multi-class classification forms are used to evaluate the model. The experimental results of applying the model to CICIDS2017 dataset achieved promising results of 99.7%accuracy, a 0.053 false-negative rate, and a 0.004 false alarm rate. This system will be effective for information technology-based organizations, as it is expected to provide a high level of symmetry between information security and detection of attacks and malicious intrusion.
Purpose Information security management (ISM) is proving to be an important topic in the modern world; in environments that will rely a great deal on digital technologies, such as smart cities, ISM research is of high importance and needs to be well analysed.
