General concept for detecting intrusions of unknown type based on neural networks

This article is dedicated to the problem of detecting intrusions of unknown type based on neural networks that bypass the system of information security in automated data processing systems and are not recognized as spiteful. Development of the means, methods and measures for detecting or preventing such hidden attacks is of particular relevance. Methodological research on the development of procedure for detecting intrusions are based on the achievements of systemic analysis, systemic-conceptual approach towards protection of information in automated data processing systems and achievements of the theory of neural systems in the area of ensuring information security. The object of this research is the intrusions of unknown type in automated data processing systems. The subject is the neural networks, namely neural networks of direct action. The main result lies in the development of neural network of direct action in form of the diagram of neural network links for detecting intrusions. For solving this task, the author developed: 1) The system of input indicators of the neural system;                2) Scales for the assessment of values of the formed indicators; 3)  General procedure for detecting intrusions based on neural networks, the essence of which consists in implementation of the following sequence of actions: a) formation of the list of all the main parties to the process of detection of intrusion; b) formation of the set of parameters that characterize each of them; c) formation of the set of numerical characteristics for each parameter using the assessment scales of the formed indicators; d) analysis of the parameters of the configuration of neural network The developed procedure may serve as the basic in further practical developments of the concept of detecting intrusions of unknown types based on neural networks.
