Abstract

The network intrusion detection system is an essential guarantee for network security. Most research on network intrusion detection systems focuses on using supervised learning algorithms, which require a large amount of labeled data for training. However, the work of labeling data is complex and cannot exhaustively include all types of network intrusion. Therefore, in this study, we develop a model that only requires normal data in the training phase, and it can distinguish between normal data and abnormal data in the test phase. This model is implemented by using a generative confrontation network. Experimental results show that, on the CIC-IDS-2017 dataset, our model has an accuracy of 97%, which is dramatically higher than the basic autoencoder, which is one of the most widely used algorithms in the network intrusion detection.
