Enabling Dynamic Network Access Control with Anomaly-based IDS and SDN

This research paper explores the integration of Anomaly-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) to enable dynamic network access control. The study presents a case study on network access control using SDN-FlowGuard and proposes a policy generation framework based on outcome explanations from the IDS. Future work includes improving explanation mechanisms and formalizing the policy generation process.

  2. Outline • Motivation • Background • Our Approach • Case Study

  3. Network Access Control with SDN FlowGuard [HotSDN’14] Dynamic Firewall [RAID’15] Access Control Policies Virtual Firewall [NDSS’17] How to generate new ACP? Anomaly Unknown vulnerabilities Zero-day security threat

  4. Existing Anomaly-based IDS Semantic Gap Access Control Policies Uncover novel security threats Obscure outcome

  5. Machine Learning Model Explanation CAT Predictor DOG Input Outcome Explanation

  6. Explanation Mechanisms Black Box x y Whitebox Blackbox x1 y1 xi yi … … xn yn Local Explanation Global Explanation

  7. Local & Blackbox Explanation • Local Approximation • Explanation Logic e e Why is predicted as circle?

  8. Approach Overview SDN Controller SDN Flow Rule Access Control Policy Mirrored Traffic AIDS Outcome Outcome Explanation Anomaly-based IDS Outcome Explanator Policy Generator SDN Switch

  9. AIDS Outcome Explanation • Local Approximation • Explanation Logic Linear Regression F(x) x Feature Importance : (duration, proto_type, service, flag, src_byte, dst_byte, … ) FI: (97, 96, 99, 100, 95, 98, … )

  10. Access Control Policy Generation <filers, actions> Selects network entities Defines action to take Networks; Hosts; Connections; Flows; Packets; Combination of above; Allow; Deny; Redirect; Quarantine; Mirror; … : (duration, proto_type, service, flag, src_byte, dst_byte, … ) FI: (97, 96, 99, 100, 95, 94, … ) Explanation

  11. Case Study: AIDS • Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) • Detect across multiple records • NSL-KDD dataset • 41 raw feature • Keras + TensorFlow for implementation

  12. Case Study: Outcome Explanation • Choose Neptune attack in dataset • Extensive SYN error or SYN rejection • Two records labeled as Neptune attack • Explanation (Feature Importance) Record1: (0, tcp, private, S0, …, 255, 20, 0.08, 0.07, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0) Record2: (0, tcp, imap4, REJ, …, 255, 17, 0.07, 0.07, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1) Percentage of SYN Error Percentage of Rejection Error

  13. Case Study: Policy Generation Outcome Explanation <filters=(ip_proto=tcp, tcp_flags=syn, sip=192.168.1.2, dip=192.168.1.3), actions=(drop)> Access Control Policy

  14. Conclusion and Future Work • Conclusion • Explained the outcome of anomaly-based IDS • Generated network access control policy according to the explanation • Future work • Better explanation that handles decency among records • Policy generation process formalization • More evaluation on realistic traffic and attacks
