Intrusion Detection Based on Fuzzy Reasoning*

The paper proposes a new network intrusion detection system based on fuzzy neural network by redesigning the intrusion detection system's architecture and arithmetic. In order to overcome the difficulty of specifying the membership function of rules depending on experiences of experts in multi-dimension space, neural network is introduced to distinguish non-linearly input/output characteristics of complex system and to generate rule sets and membership functions automatically. The new architecture adopts the network processor to collect and analyse the data in the low layer of network, and to establish a prototype system. This system demonstrated in this experiment appears to be better intrusion detection ability, moreover, which is able to detect unknown attack and plays down false alarms.
