Title: Application of Deep Learning in Intrusion Detection: A Literature Review

Abstract: Intrusion detection plays a vital role in ensuring network security by detecting and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) use rule-based or statistical methods to identify anomalies in network traffic, but these methods often have high false positive rates and limited scalability. In recent years, deep learning techniques have emerged as a promising solution to improve IDS accuracy and efficiency. This literature review provides an overview of current research on using deep learning for intrusion detection, including various neural network architectures, feature extraction methods, and performance metrics. We summarize the strengths and weaknesses of existing approaches and highlight future research directions.

Keywords: Deep Learning, Intrusion Detection, Neural Networks, Feature Extraction, Performance Metrics.

Introduction: As computer networks continue to grow rapidly alongside internet-based applications, information security has become increasingly crucial. Intrusion detection is a key aspect of securing computer networks against cyber attacks. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) rely on rule-based or statistical methods to detect anomalies in network traffic. However, these methods suffer from high false positive rates and limited scalability. To overcome these limitations, researchers have recently turned to deep learning techniques for intrusion detection.

This literature review aims to provide an overview of recent advances in using deep learning for intrusion detection. We first introduce some basic concepts related to deep learning and then discuss various neural network architectures that have been applied in IDSs. Next, we examine different feature extraction methods used for pre-processing network traffic data. Finally, we present several performance metrics used for evaluating the effectiveness of deep learning-based IDSs.

Body: Deep Learning Basics: Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning that uses multiple layers of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to learn complex patterns from input data without requiring manual feature engineering. The most commonly used types of ANNs are feedforward neural networks (FFNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and autoencoders.

Neural Network Architectures: FFNNs are simple ANNs that have input and output layers with one or more hidden layers in between. CNNs are designed to process data with a grid-like topology, such as images or time-series data. They consist of convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. RNNs are specialized for processing sequential data, such as text or speech. They use feedback connections between hidden units to capture temporal dependencies in the input data. Autoencoders are unsupervised learning models that aim to reconstruct their inputs through a bottleneck layer that captures the most salient features of the input.

Feature Extraction Methods: Deep learning-based IDSs require pre-processing of network traffic data to extract meaningful features that can be fed into neural networks. Some common feature extraction methods include statistical analysis (e.g., mean, variance), frequency domain analysis (e.g., Fourier transform), time-domain analysis (e.g., sliding window), and packet header analysis (e.g., source IP address).

Performance Metrics: To evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning-based IDSs, several performance metrics have been proposed in the literature. These include accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, area under curve (AUC), false positive rate (FPR), false negative rate (FNR), true positive rate (TPR), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

Research on Deep Learning-Based Intrusion Detection: Several studies have investigated various deep learning techniques for intrusion detection using different datasets and evaluation metrics. In this section, we summarize some recent research on deep learning-based IDSs.

In a systematic review of using artificial neural networks in intrusion detection systems by Alrawashdeh & Thabtah (2017), the authors analyzed 61 articles published between 2000 and 2015. They found that FFNNs and RNNs were the most commonly used neural network architectures for IDSs. However, they also noted that many studies did not use standard datasets or evaluation metrics, making it difficult to compare results.
