ABSTRACT

Securing a computer system can be achieved by using various methods like firewalls, anti-virus tools, network security tools, malware removal tools, and monitoring tools. These tools and applications need to be updated and monitored regularly by the user. If computer users fail to update the security tools, then the computer system may be infected by a virus or may be attacked, thereby compromising the efficiency of the system. This paper, therefore, proposes a learning system to provide security by identifying the operating system process as Self and Non-Self processes. Concepts of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Learning have been used for the identification of processes. An Artificial Neural Network is created by using processes parameters with random weights. These weights are updated by using Gradient Descent Algorithm for various training examples, and then this Artificial Neural Network is tested with test data examples. From the result, it is observed that Artificial Neural Network Learning provides a better approach for identifying Self and Non-Self process and provides a better security for computer systems.


Keywords: Artificial Neural Network, Cyber Security, Weight Updates, Self and Non-Self Process, Operating Systems.
