Abstract

The Intrusion detection system deals with huge amount of data which contains irrelevant and redundant features causing slow training and testing process, higher resource consumption as well as poor detection rate. Feature selection, therefore, is an important issue in intrusion detection. In this paper we introduce concepts and algorithms of feature selection, survey existing feature selection algorithms in intrusion detection systems, group and compare different algorithms in three broad categories: filter, wrapper, and hybrid. We conclude the survey by identifying trends and challenges of feature selection research and development in intrusion detection system.
