A Hybrid Intrusion Detection System Based on Machine Learning under Differential Privacy Protection

Abstract

With the development of network, network security has become a topic of increasing concern. Recent years, machine learning technology has become an effective means of network intrusion detection. However, machine learning technology requires a large amount of data for training, and training data often contains privacy information, which brings a great risk of privacy leakage. At present, there are few researches on data privacy protection in the field of intrusion detection. Regarding the issue of privacy and security, we combine differential privacy and machine learning algorithms, including One-class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) and Local Outlier Factor(LOF), to propose an hybrid intrusion detection system (IDS) with privacy protection. We add Laplacian noise to the original network intrusion detection data set to get differential privacy data sets with different privacy budgets, and proposed a hybrid IDS model based on machine learning to verify their utility. Experiments show that while protecting data privacy, the hybrid IDS can achieve detection accuracy comparable to traditional machine learning algorithms.
