Network anomaly detection method based on principle component analysis and tabu search and decision tree classification

Abstract

Real network traffic contains mass of features,and the method of anomaly detection based on feature analysis is not suitable for high-dimensional features classification.A method based on Principal Component Analysis and tabu Tabu Search(PCA-TS) decision tree classification for anomaly detection was proposed.The method reduced high-dimensional features and selected optimal feature subset which was suitable for classification through PCA-TS algorithm,then the decision tree of higher detection rate and lower false rate was used for classification and detection based on semi-supervised learning.The experiment shows that the approach has higher detection accuracy and lower false rate compared with traditional anomaly detection method,and the detection performance is less affected by sample size and is suitable for real-time detection of unknown anomalies.
