Flow Based Classification for Specification Based Intrusion Detection in Software Defined Networking
Software defined networking assures the space for network management, SDNs will possibly replace traditional networks by decoupling the data plane and control plane which provides security by means of a global visibility of the network state. This separation provides a solution for developing secure framework efficiently. Open flow protocol provides a programmatic control over the network traffic by writing rules, which acts as a network attack defence. A robust framework is proposed for intrusion detection systems by integrating the feature ranking using information gain for minimizing the irrelevant features for SDN, writing fuzzy-association flow rules and supervised learning techniques for effective classification of intruders. The experimental results obtained on the KDD dataset shows that the proposed model performs with a higher accuracy, and generates an effective intrusion detection system and reduces the ratio of attack traffic.
