Enhancing Trustworthiness in ML-Based Network Intrusion Detection with Uncertainty Quantification

arXiv:2310.10655v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: The evolution of Internet and its related communication technologies have consistently increased the risk of cyber-attacks. In this context, a crucial role is played by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), which are security devices designed to identify and mitigate attacks to modern networks. Data-driven approaches based on Machine Learning (ML) have gained more and more popularity for executing the classification tasks required by signature-based IDSs. However, typical ML models adopted for this purpose do not properly …
