Abstract

The increasing volume of encrypted network traffic poses a significant challenge to traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). This paper proposes a hybrid approach combining ensemble learning techniques with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to detect intrusions in encrypted network traffic. The proposed system uses machine learning algorithms for classification and ensemble techniques to enhance the detection accuracy. DPI is applied to analyze encrypted packets, identifying malicious patterns without needing to decrypt the data. The effectiveness of the hybrid system is evaluated using various benchmark datasets, demonstrating its ability to detect a wide range of network attacks with high accuracy, precision, and recall. The results show that ensemble learning models outperform traditional IDS, providing a robust solution for securing encrypted communications in modern networks.
