USING GENETIC ALGORITHM IN NETWORK SECURITY
Ehab Talal Abdel-Ra, Hebah H. O. Nasereddin · 2010
The paper talks about using Genetic Algorithm (GA) in Network Security. Specially, it describes a technique of applying GA to network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). GA is one of the commonly used approaches on data mining. The paper puts forward a GA approach for classification problems. It presents a brief overview of the Intrusion Detection System, GA, and related detection techniques. Parameters and evolution process for GA are discussed in detail. About the other implementations of the same problem, this implementation considers both temporal and spatial information of network connections in encoding the network connection information into rules in Intrusion Detection Systems. This help for identification of complex anomalous behaviors. This work is focused on the TCP/IP network protocols that applying GA.
