Towards Trustworthy Web Attack Detection: An Uncertainty-Aware Ensemble Deep Kernel Learning Model

  • 融合数据分布与模型参数双重不确定性,用深度核学习区分正常请求与攻击
  • 在BDCI和SRBH数据集上,检测准确率显著优于基准模型,且不确定性估计更可靠
  • 适合需要高可信预测的网络安全系统,尤其对未知攻击有更好响应能力

网页攻击是主要且持续存在的网络威胁,给基于网页应用的企业带来巨大损失。现有检测方法如基于规则、机器学习或深度学习的方法,要么严重依赖人工设计规则和特征工程,难以应对快速演变的攻击;要么无法估计模型不确定性,影响预测可信度。本文提出一种不确定性感知的集成深度核学习(UEDKL)模型,从数据分布和模型参数两个角度捕捉不确定性,通过多个深度核学习基模型捕获参数层面的不确定性,并设计注意力机制集成各基模型的预测结果与不确定性。同时引入新的评估指标——高不确定性比例-F分数曲线,用于衡量不确定性估计效果。在BDCI和SRBH数据集上的实验表明,该框架在网页攻击检测性能和不确定性估计质量上均显著优于基准模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Web attacks are one of the major and most persistent forms of cyber threats, which bring huge costs and losses to web application-based businesses. Various detection methods, such as signature-based, machine learning-based, and deep learning-based, have been proposed to identify web attacks. However, these methods either (1) heavily rely on accurate and complete rule design and feature engineering, which may not adapt to fast-evolving attacks, or (2) fail to estimate model uncertainty, which is essential to the trustworthiness of the prediction made by the model. In this study, we proposed an Uncertainty-aware Ensemble Deep Kernel Learning (UEDKL) model to detect web attacks from HTTP request payload data with the model uncertainty captured from the perspective of both data distribution and model parameters. The proposed UEDKL utilizes a deep kernel learning model to distinguish normal HTTP requests from different types of web attacks with model uncertainty estimated from data distribution perspective. Multiple deep kernel learning models were trained as base learners to capture the model uncertainty from model parameters perspective. An attention-based ensemble learning approach was designed to effectively integrate base learners' predictions and model uncertainty. We also proposed a new metric named High Uncertainty Ratio-F Score Curve to evaluate model uncertainty estimation. Experiments on BDCI and SRBH datasets demonstrated that the proposed UEDKL framework yields significant improvement in both web attack detection performance and uncertainty estimation quality compared to benchmark models.
