An efficient intelligent intrusion detection system using fuzzy logic based on the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm: A case study

Abstract

This paper presents an intelligent intrusion detection system using fuzzy logic based on particle swarm optimization algorithm. The main goal of this research is to survey the convergence capability of the particle swarm optimization algorithm using fuzzy logic in intelligent intrusion detection of a designable system. In order to simulate intelligent attacks on a system, KDD99 data are used. Based on the findings, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is highly capable of detecting an intelligent attack on a system. In this study, we considered 1800 times attack, in which the PSO algorithm was capable of repelling attacks in 7.24 seconds and converged. The best convergence occurred at stage 775, and then all attacks were eliminated from the system. Results showed that the stability and convergence of the system improved after each attack. Also, the number of attacks increased to 2500 times to investigate unpredictable intrusions and converge accrued at the attack 771st. Finally, the results obtained by the PSO algorithms were compared to the results obtained by the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. The findings indicate that the PSO algorithm is highly capable of detecting intelligent intrusions into a system. It is also suggested to employ this algorithm in cloud computing systems because of its high capability of repelling smart attacks.
