The application and research of machine learning in malicious encrypted traffic detection
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: With the widespread use of encrypted communication, malicious attackers increasingly exploit encrypted traffic to conceal their activities, posing challenges to traditional signature-based and rule-based detection methods. Machine learning provides a novel solution for detecting malicious encrypted traffic. This paper reviews the applications of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and ensemble learning in this domain. Supervised learning identifies known attacks using labeled data, while unsupervised learning uncovers new attack patterns in unlabeled data. Deep learning enhances feature extraction capabilities in large-scale data environments, and ensemble learning strengthens system robustness through model fusion. The findings indicate that machine learning significantly improves the accuracy of malicious behavior detection, particularly in complex feature extraction and the identification of new attack patterns.
