ABSTRACT

Redundant and irrelevant features in data have caused a long-term problem in network
traffic classification. These features not only slow down the process of classification but
also prevent a classifier from making accurate decisions, especially when coping with big
data. In this Project, we propose a mutual information based algorithm that analytically
selects the optimal feature for classification. This mutual information based feature
selection algorithm can handle linearly and nonlinearly dependent data features. Its
effectiveness is evaluated in the cases of network intrusion detection. An Intrusion
Detection System (IDS), named Least Square Support Vector Machine based IDS
(LSSVM-IDS), is built using the features selected by our proposed feature selection
algorithm. The performance of LSSVM-IDS is evaluated using three intrusion detection
evaluation datasets, namely KDD Cup 99, NSL-KDD and Kyoto 2006+ dataset. The
evaluation results show that our feature selection algorithm contributes more critical
features for LSSVM-IDS to achieve better accuracy and lower computational cost
compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
