Abstract

With the widespread use of the Internet, network security issues have attracted more and more attention, and network intrusion detection has become one of the main security technologies. As for network intrusion detection, the original data source always has a high dimension and a large amount of data, which greatly influence the efficiency and the accuracy. Thus, both feature selection and the classifier then play a significant role in raising the performance of network intrusion detection. This paper takes the results of classification optimization of weighted K-nearest neighbor (KNN) with those of the feature selection algorithm into consideration, and proposes a combination strategy of feature selection based on an integrated optimization algorithm and weighted KNN, in order to improve the performance of network intrusion detection. Experimental results show that the weighted KNN can increase the efficiency at the expense of a small amount of the accuracy. Thus, the proposed combination strategy of feature selection based on an integrated optimization algorithm and weighted KNN can then improve both the efficiency and the accuracy of network intrusion detection.
