Anomaly intrusion detection system using immune network with reduced network traffic features

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are developed to be the defense against these security threats. Current signature based IDS like firewalls and anti viruses, which rely on labeled training data, generally can not detect novel attacks.
