A probability approach to anomaly detection with twin support vector machines

Classification of intrusion attacks and normal network flow is a critical and challenging issue in network security study. Many intelligent intrusion detection models are proposed, but their performances and efficiencies are not satisfied to real computer networks. This paper presents a novel effective intrusion detection system based on statistic reference model and twin support vector machines (TWSVMs). Moreover, a network flow feature selection procedure has been studied and implemented with TWSVMs. The performances of proposed system are evaluated through using the fifth international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining in 1999 (KDD’99) data set collected at MIT’s Lincoln Labs and the results indicate that the proposed system is more efficient and effective than conventional support vector machines (SVMs) and TWSVMs.
