Research in the field of IDS has been going on since long time; however, there exists a number of ways to further improve the efficiency of IDS. This paper investigates the performance of Intrusion detection system using feature reduction and EBPA. The first step involves the reduction in number of features, based on the combination of information gain and correlation. In the next step, error back propagation algorithm (EBPA) is used to train the network and then analyze the performance. EBPA is commonly used due to its ease of use, high accuracy and efficiency. The proposed model is tested over the KDD Cup 99 and NSL-KDD datasets. Results show that the proposed IDS model with reduced feature set outperforms the other models, both in terms of performance metrics and processing time.
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.
