LPRNet: A Novel Approach for Novelty Detection in Networking Packets

Novelty Detection is a task of recognition of abnormal data points within a given system. Recently, this task has been performed using Deep Learning Autoencoders, but they face several drawbacks which include the problem of identity mapping, adversarial perturbations and optimization algorithms. In this paper, we have proposed a novel approach LPRNet, a Denoising Autoencoder which uses algorithms such as Least Trimmed Square, Projected Gradient Descent and Robust Principal Component Analysis, to solve the above-mentioned problems. LRPNet is then trained and tested on NSL-KDD dataset, and experiments have been performed using Accuracy as performance metric for comparing the existing models with the proposed model. The results show that LRPNet has the maximum accuracy of 95.9% and performed better than all the previous state-of-the-art algorithms.
