Anomaly intrusion detection using one class SVM

Abstract

Kernel methods are widely used in statistical learning for many fields, such as protein classification and image processing. We recently extend kernel methods to intrusion detection domain by introducing a new family of kernels suitable for intrusion detection. These kernels, combined with an unsupervised learning method - one-class support vector machine, are used for anomaly detection. Our experiments show that the new anomaly detection methods are able to achieve better accuracy rates than the conventional anomaly detectors.
