An intrusion detection method based on depthwise separable convolution and attention mechanism

In order to improve the accuracy of multi-classification in network intrusion detection, an intrusion detection method was proposed based on depthwise separable convolution and attention mechanism.By constructing a cascade structure combining depthwise separable convolution and long-term and short-term memory networks, the spatial and temporal features of network traffic data can be better extracted.A mixed-domain attention mechanism was introduced to enhance the detection performance.To solve the problem of low detection rate in some samples, a data balance strategy based on the combination of the variational auto-encoder (VAE) the generative adversarial network (GAN) and was designed, which can effectively cope with imbalanced datasets and improve the adaptability of the proposed detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to achieve 99.80%, 99.32%, and 83.87% accuracy on the CICIDS-2017, NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 datasets, which is improved by 0.6%, 0.5%, and 2.3%, respectiv
