The security of a network might be threatened by an intrusion aim to steal classified data or to find weaknesses on the network. In general, network main security systems use a firewall to control and monitor both incoming and outgoing network traffic. Intrusion Detection System can be used to strengthen network security. Several data mining methods have been used to solve Intrusion Detection System (IDS) problem on a network. On this paper we will use Naïve Bayes Classifier along with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) as the feature selection method specifically on one of the benchmark dataset on IDS problem, KDD CUP’99. The dataset consists of more than 40 features with more than 400 thousands records. To solve IDS problem on the dataset, it needs a quite expensive cost either on time computation or memory usage hence the use of PSO as the feature selection method. The best classification result was reached when we use 38 features where the accuracy is 99.12%. Particle Swarm Optimization method has several parameters that may affect the classification performance. For future improvement, it is possible to use a parameter optimization method to ensure the best classifier performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
