Intrusion Detection System using Long Short Term Memory Classification, Artificial Raindrop Algorithm and Harmony Search Algorithm

Nowadays, various technological advancements in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) detects the malicious attacks and reinstate network security in the cloud platform. Cloud based IDS designed with hybrid elements combining Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence algorithms have been shown to perform better on parameters, such as Detection Rate, Accuracy, and the False Positive Rate. Machine Learning algorithms provide effective techniques for classification and prediction of network attacks, by analyzing existing IDS datasets. The main challenge is selection of appropriate data dimensions to be used for detection of attacks, out of the high number of data dimensions available. For the selected data dimensions, Computational Intelligence Algorithms provide effective techniques for hyper-parameter tuning, by optimizing on reiterative basis. The main challenge is selection of appropriate algorithm which offers optimal performance results. In this research, Hybrid Meta-heuristic approach, which combines a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) classification model in dimension selection, with the application of Artificial Raindrop Algorithm- Harmony Search Algorithm (ARA-HSA) for hyper-parameter tuning, in order to achieve a high performance IDS in cloud environment. The performance validation of the hybrid LSTM-ARA-HSA algorithm has been carried out using a benchmark IDS data set and the comparative results for this algorithm along with other recent hybrid approaches has been presented.
