XAI-based Feature Selection for Improved Network Intrusion Detection Systems
Explainability and evaluation of AI models are crucial parts of the security of modern intrusion detection systems (IDS) in the network security field, yet they are lacking. Accordingly, feature selection is essential for such parts in IDS because it identifies the most paramount features, enhancing attack detection and its description. In this work, we tackle the feature selection problem for IDS by suggesting new ways of applying eXplainable AI (XAI) methods for this problem. We identify the crucial attributes originated by distinct AI methods in tandem with the novel five attribute selection methods. We then compare many state-of-the-art feature selection strategies with our XAI-based feature selection methods, showing that most AI models perform better when using the XAI-based approach proposed in this work. By providing novel feature selection techniques and establishing the foundation for several XAI-based strategies, this research aids security analysts in the AI decision-making reasoning of IDS by providing them with a better grasp of critical intrusion traits. Furthermore, we make the source codes available so that the community may develop additional models on top of our foundational XAI-based feature selection framework.
