In recent years, the increased use of wireless networks for the transmission of large volumes of information has generated a myriad of security threats and privacy concerns; consequently, there has been the development of a number of preventive and protective measures including intrusion detection systems (IDS). Intrusion detection mechanisms play a pivotal role in securing computer and network systems; however, for various IDS, the performance remains a major issue. Moreover, the accuracy of existing methodologies for IDS using machine learning is heavily affected when the feature space grows. In this paper, we propose a IDS based on deep learning using feed forward deep neural networks (FFDNNs) coupled with a lter-based feature selection algorithm. The FFDNN-IDS is evaluated usin...
