Quantum Machine Learning (QML) has become a promising alternative in the field of network anomaly detection (NAD) in recent years, especially in intrusion detection. in the development of intrusion detection systems (IDS). The aim of this study is to examine in detail four quantum machine learning models that were run not on simulators but on real quantum computers, including IBM QPU and IonQ Aria-1 platforms. The analyzed research uses different architectures, such as Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN), Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC), Quantum Autoencoder (QAE) and Quantum Neural Network (QNN), combined with multiple data processing methods and encoding techniques.

Towards Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning for Network Intrusion Detection

Arnaldo Gouveia, Miguel Pupo Correia

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSs) are commonly used today to detect malicious activities. Quantum computers, despite not being practical yet, are becoming available for experimental purposes. We present the first approach for applying unsupervised Quantum Machine Learning (QML) in the context of network intrusion detection from the perspective of quantum information, based on the concept of quantum-assisted ML. We evaluate it using IBM QX in simulation mode and show that the accuracy of a Quantum-Assisted NIDS, based on our approach, can be high, rivaling with the the best conventional SVM results, with a dependence on the characteristics of the dataset.
