This study offers a methodology for assessing intrusion detection systems’ (IDS) use of black-box explainable AI (XAI) techniques. Global and local explanation techniques, including LIME and SHAP, are applied to multiple IDS models trained on three datasets: SIMARGL 2021, NSLKDD, and CICIDS 2017. The integrated XAI methods enhance transparency and trust in model decisions. Experimental results show the Voting Classifier (boosted decision trees + bagging random forests) achieves top accuracy: 97.9% on CICIDS 2017, 99.4 on SIMARGL 2021. The results confirm the framework’s effectiveness in combining high detection performance with interpretability.

摘要

This study offers a methodology for assessing intrusion detection systems’ (IDS) use of black-box explainable AI (XAI) techniques. Global and local explanation techniques, including LIME and SHAP, are applied to multiple IDS models trained on three datasets: SIMARGL 2021, NSLKDD, and CICIDS 2017. The integrated XAI methods enhance transparency and trust in model decisions. Experimental results show the Voting Classifier (boosted decision trees + bagging random forests) achieves top accuracy: 97.9% on CICIDS 2017, 99.4 on SIMARGL 2021. The results confirm the framework’s effectiveness in combining high detection performance with interpretability.
