Performance of Neural Networks Methods In Intrusion Detection

By accurately profiling the users via their unique attributes, it is possible to view the intrusion detection problem as a classification of authorized users and intruders. This paper demonstrates that artificial neural network (ANN) techniques can be used to solve this classification problem. Furthermore, the paper compares the performance of three neural networks methods in classifying authorized users and intruders using synthetically generated data. The three methods are the gradient descent back propagation (BP) with momentum, the conjugate gradient BP, and the quasi-Newton BP.
