Perspicacious Apprehension of HDTbNB Algorithm Opposed to Security Contravention

Abstract

The exponential pace of the spread of the digital world has served as one of the assisting forces to generate an enormous amount of information flowing over the network. The data will always remain under the threat of technological suffering where intruders and hackers consistently try to breach the security systems by gaining personal information insights. In this paper, the authors proposed the HDTbNB (Hybrid Decision Tree-based Naïve Bayes) algorithm to find the essential features without data scaling to maximize the model’s performance by reducing the false alarm rate and training period to reduce zero frequency with enhanced accuracy of IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and to further analyze the performance execution of distinct machine learning algorithms as Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbors and Logistic Regression over KDD 99 dataset. The performance of algorithm is evaluated by making a comparative analysis of computed parameters as accuracy, macro average, and weighted average. The findings were concluded as a percentage increase in accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and a decrease in misclassification as 9.3%, 6.4%, 12.5%, 5.2% and 81%.
